TIRES

Manufacturer
General Motors, LLC
What Happened
The tires on your vehicle are crucial for safe handling and braking. In some 2020-2021 models and certain Continental tires, the curing process was done incorrectly, which could lead to a weak sidewall.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tire's sidewall fails, you could lose air pressure suddenly, or the tread could separate from the tire's belt. Either way, you might lose control of your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect your tires and replace them if necessary, at no cost to you. Just schedule the inspection when you get your recall notice and they'll take care of it.
