July 14, 2022 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 22E057000
Inoperative TPMS Sensor/FMVSS 138
Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 22E057
Manufacturer Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Components TIRES
Potential Number of Units Affected 1,176

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Z69
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced an equipment safety recall on certain Mopar Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensor part number: 68487472AA
Dealers may have purchased (TPMS) sensors intended for the following vehicles:
2022 (LA) Dodge Challenger
2022 (LD) Dodge Charger
2022 (LX) Chrysler 300
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Customers may have purchased the above TPMS sensor PN that may prematurely discharge its battery, making the TPMS sensor inoperative.
If the TPMS light illuminates because the battery in the sensor prematurely discharges, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.138 states that “…each vehicle must be equipped with a tire pressure monitor system” that detects “when one or more of a vehicles tire is significantly under-inflated and illuminates a low tire pressure warning telltale.” The tire pressure system in the suspect vehicles may not detect low tire pressure.
SERVICE ACTION FCA
US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to inspect and replace the suspect TPMS sensors as needed, if installed on a vehicle, or exchange any parts not yet installed on a vehicle. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 3rd Quarter of 2022.

2022 (LA) Dodge Challenger
2022 (LD) Dodge Charger
2022 (LX) Chrysler 300 REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Customers may have purchased the above TPMS sensor PN that may prematurely discharge its battery, making the TPMS sensor inoperative. If the TPMS light illuminates because the battery in the sensor prematurely discharges, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.138 states that “…each vehicle must be equipped with a tire pressure monitor system” that detects “when one or more of a vehicles tire is significantly under-inflated and illuminates a low tire pressure warning telltale.” The tire pressure system in the suspect vehicles may not detect low tire pressure.
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to inspect and replace the
suspect TPMS sensors as needed, if installed on a vehicle, or exchange any parts not yet installed on a vehicle. All dealers are required to return all affected purchased TPMS in order be repurchased.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Mopar Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensor’s part number: 68487472AA and 68488757AA It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. WHY DOES MY ITEM OF EQUIPMENT NEED REPAIRS?
FCA US records indicate that you may have purchased Mopar Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors for your vehicle. Some TPMS sensors may prematurely discharge their batteries, making the TPMS sensors inoperative. If the TPMS light illuminates because the battery in the sensor prematurely discharges, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to inspect and replace the suspect TPMS sensors as needed, if installed on a vehicle, or exchange any parts not yet installed on a vehicle. Be sure to bring the TPMS sensors with this letter to your dealership. We recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [³] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed. We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Customer Assistance/Field Operations

2022 (LA) Dodge Challenger
2022 (LD) Dodge Charger
2022 (LX) Chrysler 300 REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Customers may have purchased the above TPMS sensor PN that may prematurely discharge its battery, making the TPMS sensor inoperative. If the TPMS light illuminates because the battery in the sensor prematurely discharges, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.138 states that “…each vehicle must be equipped with a tire pressure monitor system” that detects “when one or more of a vehicles tire is significantly under-inflated and illuminates a low tire pressure warning telltale.” The tire pressure system in the suspect vehicles may not detect low tire pressure. SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to inspect and replace the suspect TPMS sensors as needed, if installed on a vehicle, or exchange any parts not yet installed on a vehicle. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 3rd Quarter of 2022.
