## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain 2021 Arteon vehicles.  The Tire Pressure Monitoring System \(TPMS\) sensors were incorrectly calibrated and may not detect the position of a wheel sensor after tire rotation.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."


## What can happen

The TPMS may misidentify a tire with low air pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheel electronics and tire valves, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on May 25, 2021.  Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 44R2.


## 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.safercar.gov.
