Will the loss of a car valve cap affect the vehicle?

[StLeila]

Losing the valve cap will not cause safety issues for the vehicle, but it is advisable not to leave the valve uncovered for an extended period. It's best to purchase a replacement online or have one installed at a repair shop. Over time, the valve may be affected by dust and debris, potentially leading to air leakage or slow inflation. Nowadays, many valve caps come with anti-theft features, including additional security nuts that prevent easy removal by hand unless tools are used. It's also worth noting that valve caps should not be tightened too much, especially metal ones, as they may become difficult to remove over time.
