Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2016 Toureg vehicles manufactured July 7, 2015 to March 3, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may be improperly calibrated and, as a result, the TPMS may fail to warn the driver that the tire pressure is low. Additionally, the tire pressures printed on the Safety Certification labels are incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safet

Consequence

If the vehicle is driven on underinflated tires, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

Volkswagen has notified owners, and dealers will correct the TPMS settings and replace the safety certification label, free of charge. The recall began on May 13, 2016. Volkwagen's number for this recall is 44M9.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Safety

NHTSA reports two safety recalls affecting the 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. A TPMS calibration issue may prevent a low-pressure warning, while incorrect Safety Certification label pressures can add confusion. Underinflated tires may fail suddenly and raise crash risk. A separate Brake Pedal issue involves a potentially missing securing clip that can allow the pivot pin to move and the pedal to dislodge. If the pedal cannot be used, the driver may be unable to apply the brakes. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check identifies whether either campaign remains open, so contact Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson promptly if you are uncertain.
