TIRES
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The affected tires were cured for too long during production.
- What it can cause
- Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall resulting in sudden air loss or a belt edge separation which could lead to a tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers inspect and replace the tires as necessary, free of charge, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 25, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212336230.
- 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.nhtsa.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 896 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the tires 9 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V115000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,687 complaints with NHTSA, 413 of them before this campaign was filed. 10 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2018, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 21V985000 (tires), 21V115000 (tires), 20V792000 (seat belts), 20V650000 (power train).
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 June 3, 2021 as campaign 21V423000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
