Chrysler Recalls 2014 Minivans and Wranglers for Tire Pressure Software Error

Chrysler is recalling 2014 Town and Country, Grand Caravan, and Jeep Wrangler vehicles because a software error may prevent the tire pressure monitoring system from detecting low air pressure.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety system failure that could mask low tire pressure and increase crash risk, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The recall covers vehicles manufactured between March 20, 2014, and April 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles is 10,390.

A software error may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light may illuminate even when tire pressures are within specification. If a tire subsequently loses air pressure, the driver may not be notified of the change, which could mask an actual low tire pressure condition and increase the risk of a crash due to tire failure.

Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the TPMS module free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
