TIRES
- The defect
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020 Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT5, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse vehicles and 2020-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The vehicles may have been manufactured with Continental tires that were overcured.
- What it can cause
- Overcured tires may experience a carcass break in the sidewall resulting in a sudden air loss or could develop a belt edge separation which could lead to partial or full tread/belt loss. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect vehicles and replace tires that have DOT number and production mold number combinations identified by Continental, free of charge. The recall began December 17, 2020. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267, Buick customer service at 1-866-608-8080, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N202319030.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 7,516 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the tires 7 times before this, most recently in May 2020 as 20V295000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,903 complaints with NHTSA, 100 of them before this campaign was filed. 15 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V083000 (power train), 25V274000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V797000 (power train), 22V709000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors LLC with NHTSA on November 5, 2020 as campaign 20V684000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
