Manufacturer
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
What Happened
Your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system is a computer that checks the air pressure in your tires. In some 2012 Murano and Rogue models, this system wasn't turned on during assembly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the system isn't working, you won't get a warning when a tire is underinflated. This could lead to a blowout, especially on the highway, and increase the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will activate the tire pressure monitoring system for you, at no cost. They'll make sure you can get the alerts you need to stay safe on the road.
