Tire pressure monitoring systems are one of the neatest features of modern production cars but for more than 52,000 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles, they may not operate as intended.

A recall notice issued with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has revealed that select vehicles were manufactured with tire pressure monitor system sensors that may prematurely discharge the battery. If this is to occur, the TPMS sensor will be inoperative and the system will no longer function.

The recall involves a total of 52,340 vehicles. A separate recall of 1,176 tire pressure monitoring systems sold by Mopar has also been issued.

Involved in the recall are no less than 27,337 Dodge Charger models that were manufactured between August 23, 2021 and June 7, 2022. In addition, a total of 19,345 Dodge Challenger models produced between August 23, 2021 and June 10, 2022 are subject to the recall. 2022 Chrysler 300 models that were built from September 7, 2021 to June 9, 2022 are also involved, totaling 5,658 vehicles.

The automaker’s recall notice states that if the TPMS light illuminates because the battery in the sensor prematurely discharged, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition which could lead to a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US will resolve the issue by conducting a voluntary recall on all impacted models and inspect and replace the TPMS sensors as needed. It will also reimburse owners for any costs they have incurred when repairing the problem prior to the recall being issued.

Both dealers and owners will begin receiving notifications of the recall on or around September 2, 2022.
