Consumer Description
Broken Valve Stem - While on vacation the warning light came on telling me I only had 15 pounds of pressure in my right inside rear tire (has dual tires.) I pumped it and took it to a tire store in Twin Falls Idaho. They could not find a leak and sent me on my way. When home in California I took it to La Mesa RV who found the broken valve stem. They said they had seen quite a few on this vehicle and recommended replacing all. They gave me the name of several close by tire shops. The one I picked recommended changing all the stems out because they had seen a number of failures with the 2021 Transits. I did this but now don't have a TPMS since I didn't want to get another one that was likely to fail. Ford should do a recall and put in long stem valve stems that don't brake and also making adding air easier than the OEM ones. I am picking safety over having a TPMS. I wish I could have both. Picture will show removed stems with the one that broke off.
