What Happened
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a safety feature that checks the air pressure of your tires and alerts you if they're low. In affected 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles, this system is missing.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're driving with under-inflated tires, you won't get a warning, which could lead to a tire blowout or reduced traction. This increases the risk of a crash, especially when cornering or braking.
Free Fix
Your dealer will install the necessary hardware and software to equip your vehicle with a TPMS, at no cost to you. Just schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana incomplete vehicles equipped with a 159 inch wheel base manufactured August 2, 2013, to January 30, 2016. The affected vehicles were shipped to final stage manufacturers without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Without a TPMS, the driver would not be alerted if one or more tires became under inflated. Driving with under inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will install the hardware and software necessary to equip the vehicles with a TPMS, free of charge. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15819.
