Plain-English summary

Koenigsegg Automotive AB is recalling one model year 2013 Agera vehicle manufactured in December 2012. The affected vehicle is equipped with a BF1 Systems Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The recall addresses a defect where the TPMS malfunction indicator light may fail to illuminate when the vehicle is restarted, causing the vehicle to fail compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138.

If the TPMS does not illuminate properly, the driver may not be aware of tire problems, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash. Koenigsegg has notified the owner, and a dealer has installed a new software version to correct the issue free of charge. The recall began on July 9, 2014.

Owners may contact Koenigsegg's US dealer at 1-212-594-6200 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) for more information.
