Default Flat Tire OnStar Notification(s)

Woke up to the dreaded OnStar email that I have 4 flat tires. Went out to the garage and thank God, no flats. Got in the OnStar app and well, the recommended air pressure per OnStar is 480 psi per tire! Anybody else seeing this or is this entirely anomalous to me?

I got the same thing. My Onstar expired. So I just got a text. I didn't check the pressure just yet, but pushed on the tires and they didn't feel low.
I did an update a couple of days ago. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.

When I get home this evening I'll put a gauge on them and see what they read.

I got the same thing today at 4:16 AM, email and text!
Yesterday, I did top off all 4 tires to 31 PSI, but I'm thinking no way...
OnStar glitch most likely.

Must be an OnStar glitch...
What time did you all get the notice?
6am

It also says the recommended pressure is 480 PSI. I hope nobody actually tries to fill their tires to 480 PSI, that would be quite a show.

Thanks all for checking in. I figured it was an On-Star glitch. Just bad timing as a weird car was leaving my subdivision last night I haven't seen before. Saw them when I took the dog out for a walk. Happened to lock the Vette up before going outside and then the car was leaving. So, first thought this morning was, "did they slash my tires?"

As said above, I hope no one goes and tries to hit the high score on tire pressure today.

If anyone does decide to inflate their tires to 480 psi, please record this even for posterity. I'd expect read about it on Darwin Awards

You would think the General would post something, stating "Sorry for misinformation - Please Disregard"
