What This Recall Means

Component

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

What Happened
Your vehicle's tire label might be incorrect, listing a 15-inch spare tire when you actually need a 16-inch one for the front axle.
Risk if Unfixed
If you try to replace your spare tire with a 15-inch one, it won't fit because it'll interfere with the brake caliper. This could make it harder to change your tire in an emergency.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
You'll receive a corrected tire label in the mail with installation instructions, or you can have your dealer install it for you at no extra cost.

Affected Vehicles

2006 CHEVROLET Malibu
