Same thing happened on my Hyundai i30. I was aware they are brittle and was extra careful still broke. Hyundai garage replaced it free of charge.

Although i think the Hyundia system gives a pressure reading and maybe temperatures??

I think i'll settle for my Mazda version that just uses the ABS sensors, no maintenance costs usually.

Can you fit a tyre pal system instead?
