Audi Recall 22V-815: Pressure monitoring and regulating systems

Affected: 2019–2020 Audi A3, 2019 Audi Q3, 2019–2021 Volkswagen Atlas and 8 more. Filed with NHTSA on October 31, 2022, covering about 296,044 vehicles.

The problem

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."

The risk

An undetected sudden loss of pressure in all four tires increases the risk of a crash.
