Twist off air valve cap to see that valve stem is broken, but still attached?
So as the title states, I have an '09 JKU with TPMS. Low tire pressure light came on this morning, and while checking my spare, I removed the valve cap only to realize that the valve stem itself was cracked (middle perimeter). Tried to get a reading, and got a very vague "15 psi" but once I tried to put air into it, there was an obviously leak because of a "hissing" sound.
Question is, is the valve stem and that entire piece covered by warranty? That was my first time trying to put air into the tire and the first time I ever noticed that. I don't know what could have caused it, but it's very inconvenient. All input is welcome, thanks!!
