Consumer Description

OEM TPMS SENSOR VALVE STEM CRACKED AND BROKE, INSTANTLY DEFLATING TIRE. MATERIAL APPEARS TO BE MANUFACTURED FROM ALUMINUM AND SHOWS SIGNS OF CORROSION APPROX 1/4" BELOW TOP OF FILL HEAD. IF VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH SPEED MOTION AT TIME OF FAILURE, THEN INSTANT TIRE DEFLATION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AND LEAD TO A POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL AND TIRE DAMAGE. A WEB SEARCH FOR SIMILAR ISSUE YIELDS A FEW LEGAL SITES THAT ARE INVESTIGATING ISSUE FOR THE 2009-2010 MODEL YEARS AS LATER MODELS WERE INSTALLED WITH RUBBER STEM.
