| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Tpms system on subaru 2010 legacy is triggered when tire pressure falls just below placard cold tire pressure. Dealer (lithia subaru, reno) recommends increasing tire pressure to 125% of placard cold tire pressure. Subaru also recommends increasing tire pressure. This leads to many drivers driving with overinflated tires. Subaru needs to lower the pressure at which tpms system indicates low tire pressure to actually low tire pressure. 75-80% of placard cold tire pressure would seem an adequate solution. |
