- Summary
- Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2012, cc vehicles, for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicles safety standard no. 138, "tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)." the factory installed wheels and tires were replaced at the port with accessory wheels and tires that were not equipped with the proper TPMS sensors.
- Consequence
- With the incorrect TPMS sensors, drivers will receive a constant warning from the tire pressure monitor system. The system alerts the driver but, due to incorrect TPMS sensors, the system cannot determine if the vehicle tires are properly inflated. This increases the risk that the vehicle will be driven with one or more underinflated tires, increasing the risk of a tire failure that may lead to a crash.
- Remedy
- Volkswagen will replace the TPMS sensors with the proper sensors to make the TPMS system of the vehicles compliant with FMVSS 138. As of June 1, 2011, Volkswagen has contacted all affected customers to schedule the repairs free of charge. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

Has your Volkswagen been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
