Koenigsegg recall: Tires
What is wrong
Koenigsegg Automotive AB (Koenigsegg) is recalling one model year 2013 Agera vehicle manufactured in December 2012, equipped a BF1 Systems Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The affected vehicle may experience the TPMS system not illuminating the TPMS malfunction indicator light when the vehicle is restarted. Thus, this vehicle fails to comply to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
What could happen
If the TPMS doesn't illuminate properly when the vehicle is restarted it could cause the driver not to know there is a problem with the tire, increasing the risk of vehicle crash.
The fix
Koenigsegg has notified the owner, and a dealer has installed a new software version, free of charge. The recall began on July 9, 2014. Owners may contact Koenigsegg's US dealer at 1-212-594-6200.
