ZB5 – Inoperative TPMS Sensor – 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, & Chrysler 300

SEOCONTENT-START

10/28/2022 New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – ZB5 FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2022 Model Year (LA) Dodge Challenger, (LD) Dodge Charger and (LX) Chrysler 300 vehicles. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensor that prematurely discharges 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 which 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 to inspect and replace the suspect TPMS sensors as needed. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2022. We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors on about 44,212 of the above vehicles 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 which states that “…each vehicle must be equipped with a tire pressure monitor system” that detects “when one or more of a vehicles tire is Remedy Available IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. Subject Safety Recall ZB5 – Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors Page 2 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. Inspect all TPMS sensors, including the spare tire if equipped, replace any that failed the inspection procedure. Balance the tire and wheel assembly and set tire pressure according to tire pressure label located on the driver’s door opening near the striker. Road test vehicle above 15 Mph for 3 minutes to initialize the TPMS to read tire pressure on the instrument cluster.

TPMS Sensor Replacement Procedure. 1. Raise and support the vehicle. 2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. 3. Disassemble the tire from the wheel. CAUTION: The cap used on the TPMS valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and moisture from entering the valve stem. Do not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place. 4. Remove the valve stem nut and remove the TPMS sensor assembly from the wheel. 5. SAVE the defective TPMS sensor(s) for “Parts Return Requirement”. NOTE: Installation not OK, unacceptable valve protrusion. In order to prevent damage to the valve as a result of contact with the curb, the valve must not protrude beyond the edge of the rim (1) NOTE: Installation not OK, gap between the rim well base and the bottom of the tire pressure sensor > 0.079in (2mm)(2) NOTE: Installation not OK, unacceptable hump protrusion because sensor is at an angle. In order to ensure that the tire can slide over the hump during installation, a maximum protrusion of 0.098in (2.5mm) must not be exceeded (3). Service Procedure [Continued] Safety Recall ZB5 – Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors Page 9 NOTE: The valve axis and the rim hole axis must be aligned. Ensure here that the sealing element (grommet) makes contact with the sealing surface of the rim hole over its entire circumference (4). NOTE: Installation OK, flat/parallel positioning of the wheel electronics module on rim well base(6). NOTE: Installation OK, positioning of wheel electronics module on rear edge in rim well base (6). 6. Wipe the area clean around valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel is not damaged. 7. Insert the valve stem through the wheel observing all notes above. 8. Insert a suitable tool into the cross hole of the valve head to prevent the valve body from turning. 9. Install the tire pressure sensor nut and tighten to 6N∙m (53In, Lbs.) (Figure 10). Service Procedure [Continued] Figure 10 – TPM sensor 6 Safety Recall ZB5 – Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors Page 10 10. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer’s instructions, paying special attention to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sensor. a) Rotating Wheel Tire Changers – Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor valve stem (2) approximately 280° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the outer and inner tire beads (Figure 11). b) Rotating Tool Tire Changers – Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1) is located approximately 210° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool (2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the outer and inner tire beads (Figure 12). Service Procedure [Continued] Figure 11 – Tire Position Figure 12 – Tire Changer Use Safety Recall ZB5 – Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors Page 11 11.

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 US LLC has decided that certain [2022 Model Year (LA) Dodge Challenger, (LD) Dodge Charger and (LX) Chrysler 300] vehicles fail to conform to 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. It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors on your vehicle [1] 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. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect all the TPMS sensors and replace any if needed. The estimated repair time is about 2 hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership. TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR, CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
