What Happened
The tire pressure monitoring system in your vehicle is designed to alert you to low tire pressure. In some affected models, this system might not detect a sudden drop in pressure across all four tires in time.
Risk if Unfixed
If your tire pressure suddenly drops to zero while driving, you could lose control of your vehicle, increasing the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Volkswagen or Audi dealer will update the tire pressure monitoring system software to ensure it works properly, at no cost to you. You should schedule the update as soon as you receive the recall notice.
