What happened

Southeast Toyota Distributors is recalling certain 2015 Toyota Prius C vehicles manufactured between April 20, 2015, and June 30, 2015. These vehicles have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that may be improperly calibrated, which could prevent the system from warning drivers when tire pressure is low. If a vehicle is driven on underinflated tires, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

SET will notify owners of the recall, and dealers will recalibrate the TPMS at no charge. The recall began on September 15, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226, referencing recall number SET15E.
