Why is this significant? Well, the sensor is located in the tire stem, and must be replaced every time you get new wheels, which got replaced through the insurance company. Thing is, Michael Hohl didn't know that the tire stem must be replaced every time you get a new rim, and they wont let me drive without the new sensor. The old tire stems work just fine, but you cannot reuse the sensors.

Their mistake for not ordering all the necessary parts. Stick them with your rental bill for the period missed.
