THE VALVE STEM ASSEMBLY IN THE WHEELS CAN CRACK IF THEY BECOME CORRODED. SUCH CRACKS CAN CAUSE THE AIR IN THE TIRES TO LEAK OUT. HOWEVER, THE VALVE STEM ASSEMBLY IS EQUIPPED WITH A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) AND A SUFFICIENT LEAK WILL RESULT IN THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT. IN SOME INSTANCES, A CRACKED VALVE CAN BREAK OFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES. TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION, REPLACE THE TIRE VALVE STEM FOR ALL FOUR TPMS SENSORS ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS BULLETIN. BEFORE CONDUCTING THE PROCEDURE, VERIFY THE VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF AFFECTED VINS." |
