General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 chevrolet express and gmc savana incomplete vehicles equipped with a 159 inch wheel base manufactured august 2, 2013, to january 30, 2016.  The affected vehicles were shipped to final stage manufacturers without a tire pressure monitoring system (tpms).  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 138, tire pressure monitoring systems.
