Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The valves on the inner rear duel wheels basically can not be checked through the very small holes in the wheel covers or even without the wheel covers. I had, upon delivery of the sprinter, the wheels removed to install metal valve extenders so I could regularly check tire pressures. This is a safety issue as extremely difficult to check tire pressures leads to no checking, under inflation and on road tire failure. The SPRINTER 3500 should come with factory installed accessible valve extenders. I have met multiple sprinter drivers who have never checked their rear tire pressures.”
NHTSA complaint #10638259, filed 2014-09, 970 miles“Valve stem location make pressure sensing and air fill near impossible on rear wheels. No tmps system which will result in higher incidence of low pressure and dangerous driving situation leading to accidents.”
