Volkswagen is recalling 224,704 model-year 2019 Tiguan LWB, Golf Sportwagen A7, Golf Alltrack, Golf R GP, Audi Q3, Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2019-2020 Jetta NF, Jetta GLI, Golf GTI, Atlas, Golf A7, Audi A3, 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport, and 2021 Atlas FL vehicles. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not detect an air pressure loss in adequate time when deflating occurs among all four tires simultaneously. An undetected sudden loss of pressure in all four tires increases the risk of a crash.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 30, 2022. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 800-893-5298, Audi customer service at 800-253-2834, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will update the TPMS software.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
