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

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA reports two recalls for the 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. A TPMS calibration issue may keep the vehicle from warning about low tire pressure, while incorrect Safety Certification label pressures can add confusion. Underinflated tires may fail suddenly and raise crash risk. A separate Brake Pedal recall involves a pivot pin that may move if its securing clip is missing; the pedal could dislodge, preventing the driver from applying the brakes. Waiting leaves these safety concerns unresolved. Bring the vehicle in for a free VIN check, especially after receiving a notice, noticing a safety concern, or wondering whether prior recall work was completed.
