EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2021 GMC Canyon vehicles. The load carrying capacity printed on the Tire and Loading Information placard is 22.5 kg (51 lbs.) more than intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- An incorrect label may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- GM will mail owners a new B-pillar label, free of charge. Owners may apply the label, or bring it to a dealer for installation. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 17, 2021. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212340735.
- 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 7,199 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 one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
GMC vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 13 times before this, most recently in June 2019 as 19V428000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V811000 (seat belts).
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 July 1, 2021 as campaign 21V497000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
