TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC. (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 vehicles equipped with a 17" spare tire (RPO ZHQ or ZXT) and either the 20" accessory road tire (RPO REM) or the 18" accessory road tire (RPO Q2V). Operating the spare tire with other 20" or 18" tires can prevent the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) from engaging.
- What it can cause
- An ABS system that cannot control the rear wheels independently increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will provide the appropriate spare tire and apply a new spare tire information label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 18, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020; GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212329780.
- 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 86 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the tires 10 times before this, most recently in June 2021 as 21V423000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 310 complaints with NHTSA, 38 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 earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2019, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V083000 (power train), 24V797000 (power train), 24V060000 (latches/locks/linkages), 21V758000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 29, 2021 as campaign 21V578000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
