What's wrong, in plain English
Your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system is supposed to warn you when tire pressure gets too low. In these vehicles, if all four tires lose air pressure at the same time, the system may not detect this quickly enough to warn you. This means you might not get a timely alert if every tire loses pressure at once. Dealers will fix the problem by updating the tire pressure monitoring software at no cost.
What you should do
2. Contact a Volkswagen dealer (1-800-893-5298) or Audi dealer (1-800-253-2834) to schedule the software update.
3. The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
