What’s wrong
On affected vehicles the possibility exists that there may be a software error in the tyre pressure monitoring system of some X-Class vehicles If the tyre pressure falls below the minimum level required the intended warning message may not be shown in instrument cluster as a result of this error. Driving with tyre pressure that is too low causes increased and/or uneven tyre wear and changes the steering and braking behaviour of the vehicle. This may increase the risk of accident
The fix
As a precautionary measure recall the affected vehicles and perform a software check/update in the tyre pressure monitor control unit.
