General Motors Recalls 321 Units Of 2014-2016 Chevy Express And GMC Savana Cutaway

General Motors is recalling certain units of the 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana incomplete vehicles (aka cutaways) with a 159-inch wheelbase over not including a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

The defect: affected vehicles were shipped to final stage manufacturers without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.”

The hazards: without a TPMS, the driver would not be alerted if one or more tires became under inflated. Driving with under inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.

Affected vehicles: 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana incomplete vehicles equipped with a 159 inch wheel base manufactured August 2, 2013 to January 30, 2016.

Number of vehicles affected: 321 units (United States figure).

The fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install the hardware and software necessary to equip the vehicles with a TPMS, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Owners should: customers looking to find out if their vehicle is included in this GM recall should visit recalls.gm.com. There, owners will be able to enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to see any open recalls as well as customer satisfaction programs.
