TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle has a system that checks the air pressure in your tires. In certain 2019-2021 models, this system might not sound the alarm fast enough if all four tires lose air at the same time.
Risk if Unfixed
If all four tires lose air simultaneously, your tire pressure monitoring system won't alert you in time. This increases the risk of a crash, especially on the highway, where you may lose control of your vehicle.
Free Fix
Your authorized Volkswagen or Audi dealer will update the tire pressure monitoring system's software for free. You should schedule the update as soon as you receive your recall notice.

Original — What Happened
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan LWB, Golf Sportswagen A7, Golf Alltrack, Golf R GP, Audi Q3, Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2019-2020 Jetta NF, Jetta GLI, Golf GTI, Atlas, Golf A7, Audi A3, 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport, and 2021 Atlas FL vehicles. The tire pressure monitoring system may not detect an air pressure loss in adequate time when deflating occurs among all four tires simultaneously. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
An undetected sudden loss of pressure in all four tires increases the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 18, 2022. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or Audi’s customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are (Audi) 45J7, and (VW) 45J6 and 45J8.

TIRES:SIDEWALL

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle may have tires that were made with an error, causing them to be over-cured. This could lead to a blowout or a separation of the tire's tread from the rest of the tire.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tires blow out or the tread separates, you could lose control of your vehicle, which could cause a serious crash.
Free Fix
Volkswagen will inspect your tires for free and replace them if necessary, at no cost to you. Just contact the dealership or call 1-800-893-5298 for more information, and reference recall number 44Q5.

Original — Risk if Unfixed
Over cured tires can result in a sidewall break causing a sudden loss of air pressure or the tread separating from the tire. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.
