CarRecallWatch- Component
- TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
- Problem
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
- Risk
- Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 2, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z68.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor battery in certain vehicles may fail early, causing the sensor to stop working. When a sensor is inoperative, the system will not warn the driver about low tire pressure. A TPMS warning light that is already on because of a failed sensor can also hide a real tire pressure problem. Either situation can lead to tire failure and raise the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the TPMS sensors and replace them as needed, at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed August 2, 2022. For questions, owners can contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number Z68.
