45J7 TPMS Noncompliance – 2019-2020 Audi

SEOCONTENT-START

NAME Title Department Phone Fax Date Dear Ms. Carlson: Volkswagen hereby submits the following chronology associated with the subject recall codes. Chronology of Defect April 29, 2020: The topic was presented in Volkswagen AG and Audi AG Product Safety Committees. A recall was decided, along with a petition for inconsequential non-compliance in the United States. May 06, 2020: Volkswagen files a 573 with the NHTSA for a potential TPMS non-compliance with FMVSS 138 – Tire pressure monitoring systems. Volkswagen states the intention of filing a petition for inconsequential non-compliance, because the issue with the TPMS system on the affected vehicles does not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. The behavior does not pose an unreasonable safety risk, as every puncture (meaning a rapid tire pressure loss), as well as a diffusion (meaning a long term pressure loss on multiple tires), will be detected. The pressure loss will still be detected in all cases, but in certain instances where all four tires deflate at the same rate at the same time, it may not be detected in the time specified in the FMVSS 138 test procedure. A pressure loss on less than four tires at the same time and rate will be detected and indicated to the driver. Warning for the driver will still occur in all cases before a potential safety-relevant tire pressure is reached. May 20, 2020: VWGoA files the petition for inconsequential non-compliance with the NHTSA. June 08, 2020: VWGoA files an amended petition for inconsequential non-compliance with the NHTSA to correct model year and production dates listed in the original inconsequential non-compliance petition. October 21, 2022: NHTSA informs VWGoA that they have denied the petition for inconsequential noncompliance. October 24, 2022: NHTSA publishes their decision in the Federal Register. The agency decided that Volkswagen has not met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 138 noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, Volkswagen’s petition was denied, and Volkswagen is consequently obligated to provide notification of and free remedy for that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120. Neither Volkswagen nor Audi are aware of any warranty claims or field reports related to this topic. Neither Volkswagen nor Audi is aware of any incidents or injuries related to this topic.

UU. Audi detectó que ciertos vehículos de su marca, modelos 2019-2020, no se ajustan a la Norma Federal de Seguridad de Vehículos Motorizados, FMVSS n.º 138 “Sistemas de supervisión de la presión de los neumáticos”. Nuestros registros indican que usted es propietario de uno de los vehículos afectados por esta campaña. ¿Cuál es el problema? En un entorno de prueba, en muy pocos casos, es posible que el sistema de supervisión de la presión de los neumáticos no detecte una pérdida de presión de aire en el tiempo que se especifica en el procedimiento de prueba de la FMVSS n.º 138 de la NHTSA “Sistemas de supervisión de la presión de los neumáticos” si se da en simultáneo en la misma medida en los cuatros neumáticos. Una pérdida repentina de presión en los cuatro neumáticos al mismo tiempo que no se detecta como lo requieren las normas aumenta el riesgo de sufrir un choque. ¿Qué haremos? Para corregir este defecto, su concesionario Audi autorizado actualizará el software de TPMS de su vehículo. Este servicio tardará alrededor de una hora y se realizará de forma gratuita. No obstante, considere la posibilidad de que su concesionario necesite tiempo adicional para la preparación del servicio y la organización del horario del taller. ¿Qué debe hacer?

FMVSS 1 : 138 – Tire pressure monitoring systems FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In certain instances where all four tires deflate at the same rate at the same time, the event may not be detected in the time specified in the FMVSS 138 test procedure. A pressure loss on less than four tires at the same time and rate will be detected and indicated to the driver. Warning for the driver will still occur in all cases before a potential safety-relevant tire pressure is reached. A sudden loss of pressure in all four tires at the same time that goes undetected as required by regulations increases the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : The brake control unit hardware was changed, but the related module software was not adapted to the change. This may lead to a small deviation in the calculation of the current tire pressure.

FMVSS 1 : 138 – Tire pressure monitoring systems FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In certain instances where all four tires deflate at the same rate at the same time, the event may not be detected in the time specified in the FMVSS 138 test procedure. A pressure loss on less than four tires at the same time and rate will be detected and indicated to the driver. Warning for the driver will still occur in all cases before a potential safety-relevant tire pressure is reached. A sudden loss of pressure in all four tires at the same time that goes undetected as required by regulations increases the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : The brake control unit hardware was changed, but the related module software Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-815 Page 6 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 was not adapted to the change. This may lead to a small deviation in the calculation of the current tire pressure.
