- Problem
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana incomplete vehicles equipped with a 159 inch wheel base manufactured August 2, 2013, to January 30, 2016. The affected vehicles were shipped to final stage manufacturers without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

- Without a TPMS, the driver would not be alerted if one or more tires became under inflated. Driving with under inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will install the hardware and software necessary to equip the vehicles with a TPMS, free of charge. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15819.
- Notes

What this recall means for you
Some vans were shipped without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), so the driver would not be alerted if one or more tires became under-inflated. Driving on under-inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will install the necessary hardware and software to equip the vehicles with a TPMS, at no cost to the owner. Owners will be notified by General Motors, or can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and should reference GM recall number 15819.
If you own one of these vehicles, check your VIN for open recalls and schedule the free repair with an authorized dealer.
