What can go wrong

A possible non-conformity in the fitting of the tyre valves as well as an incorrect tightening torque of the valve securing nut could cause a valve to fail and a rapid loss of pressure in the tyres. The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp would illuminate to warn the driver.

The fix

On affected vehicles replace the tyre valves using a fitting jig.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
