Primewell valera tire dot Y9H3 lehx 4217. Experienced fatal severe sidewall tear (rupture) while driving (freeway) under normal road conditions. Rapid loss of tire pressure 13lbs or less and inability to properly control and drive the vehicle. These particular brand of tires were manufactured by giti corporation in indonesia in 2017. Manufacturer has recalled nearly 400,000 tires of this exact brand and manufacture date due to sidewall rupture (severe tear) from normal use. I talked with giti technical services and they claim this tire dot is not on their recall list. No collisions involved.
Corroded wiring to tire pressure sensor on a three year old vehicle. Wiring on a three-year-old vehicle should not be corroded already! this causes the sensor to not monitor of the tire pressure at all or incorrectly monitor the tire pressure. This could be a major safety issue if the tire is not inflated correctly.
The "service tire" warning light activates and the information center does not have an air pressure reading for the right front tire. The warning activates after driving for some miles and then goes off within two minutes. Dealership says the sensor is working and there are no "codes" to check. This has been going on for a month. Tire pressure is fine.
