On certain vehicles, the flat tire monitoring system's programming could contain a defect. Specifically, an audible signal (single gong) that is used, in part, to alert the driver to a flat tire, has not been correctly programmed. In the event of a flat tire, the audible signal will not sound. Also, the system's indicator lamp will illuminate, but contrary to the description in the Owner's Manual will not flash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2004243.
