What Happened
Your temporary spare tire is the extra tire on the back of your vehicle, designed to get you to a safe place in case of a flat. In certain 2017 models, this spare tire wasn't inflated to the correct pressure, as shown on the tire pressure label.
Risk if Unfixed
If your spare tire isn't properly inflated, it might not handle the road as well as it should, making it harder to steer and stop your vehicle. This could increase the risk of a crash.
