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 Critical Safety Systems

NHTSA identifies two safety concerns for the 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System may be calibrated incorrectly and fail to warn about low tire pressure, while the printed certification-label pressures may also be wrong. Underinflated tires can fail suddenly and raise crash risk. A separate Brake Pedal recall concerns a missing securing clip that may allow the pivot pin to move and the pedal to dislodge. If the pedal dislodges, the driver may not be able to apply the brakes. Waiting can leave these risks unresolved, so check your VIN and arrange recall service promptly.
