Your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, is a safety feature that checks tire pressure and alerts you if it's low. Some 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, made with a specific wheel base, were shipped without this system.
Risk if Unfixed
Without TPMS, you won't get a warning if one or more of your tires are underinflated. This could lead to a blowout while you're driving, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will install the TPMS hardware and software, and it's completely free. You'll be notified when the repair is available, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
