tire valve stem caps

This is to remind you of the importance of the tire valve stem cap. These caps need to be installed on every tire, regardless if the vehicle is equipped with TPMS or not. Without these caps, dirt and moisture can interfere with the proper sealing of the tire valve stem. This can result in a gradual loss of tire pressure or interfere with adding air to the tire. In turn this may result in a TPMS lamp coming on and an inconvenienced customer. The cap is gray in color, part # S0A342LT09. The accessory SPT valve stem cap may also be used and will not affect the TPMS operation.
