TIRES
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles equipped with certain Hankook tires. The tires may have been manufactured with an insufficient amount of curative agent, which could cause tread separation.
- What it can cause
- Tread separation can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the tire DOT numbers, and replace any affected tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 31, 2021. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782; and Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N212343560.
- 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 9,597 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the tires 11 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V578000. 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 317 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 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 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V339000 (child seat), 23V013000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V724000 (seats), 22V359000 (seats).
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 August 5, 2021 as campaign 21V612000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
