Summary

General MotorseBay logo (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Silverado 1500 vehicles equipped with certain accessory road tires and a 17″ spare tire.

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.

Condition

General MotorseBay logo has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, certain 2019 – 2021 model year ChevroleteBay logo Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 17” spare tire (RPO RHM, QBR, or XCQ) and also equipped with (i) 22” accessory road tires (RPO XD5 or XAH), (ii) 20” accessory road tires (RPO XDF) or (iii) 18” accessory road tires (RPO RCP), in new or used vehicle inventory. If the original 17” spare tire is installed on the vehicle opposite one of the listed accessory tires, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) may not independently control the rear wheels on low-friction surfaces. If installed on opposing rear wheels in the subject vehicles, the difference in revolutions per kilometer (RPK) between (a) the original spare tire and (b) 22”, 20”, or 18” accessory road tires can interfere with the operation of the vehicle’s ABS system. If the ABS system cannot control the rear wheels independently on low-friction surfaces, there is an increased risk of a crash.

 

Correction

Dealers will provide a 17” spare tire and wheel assembly with compatible RPK rating to owners confirmed to have the 22”, 20”, or 18” accessory road tires. Dealers will also apply a new spare tire information label over the existing tire placard label. Owners will also be provided an Owner’s Manual insert clarifying which spare tire that should be used with the 22”, 20” and 18” accessory road tires and the spare tire to be used with the 17” original tires.

Chronology :

GM opened an investigation into the subject vehicles on August 13, 2021, in connection with a read-across from a previous investigation that resulted in a recall of 86 heavy-duty trucks that were equipped with certain 17” OEM spare tires and larger diameter accessory road tire combinations. Ref. NHTSA Recall No. 21V578.

GM first analyzed production records to determine which light-duty truck configurations may have been equipped with one of three available 17” OEM spare tires. GM then reviewed accessory-tire sales records to determine whether any of these vehicle configurations may have been offered larger diameter accessory road tires. GM’s engineers conducted testing at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds to evaluate which configurations, if any, exceeded GM’s internal RPK standard when the spare tire is installed.

GM’s testing identified several light-duty truck configurations for further investigation. GM’s investigation identified zero relevant field reports and no crashes attributable to this condition in these vehicles. On December 9, 2021, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall.
