TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
- The defect
- General Motors (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Silverado 1500 vehicles equipped with certain accessory road tires and a 17" spare tire. The 17" spare tire provided with the vehicle is not compatible for use with the accessory wheels, which can cause the anti-lock brake system (ABS) to not function properly under certain conditions.
- What it can cause
- An ABS system that does not function properly can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will provide a new 17" spare tire and wheel assembly that is compatible with the accessory wheels, free of charge. Dealers will also apply a new spare tire information label, and provide owners with an owner's manual insert clarifying which spare tire to use with the accessory road tires and with the 17" original tires. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2022. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-462-8782 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212346510.
- 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 626 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, 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 12 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V612000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 4,192 complaints with NHTSA, 716 of them before this campaign was filed. 23 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, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V083000 (power train), 25V274000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V797000 (power train), 21V495000 (air bags).
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.
