General Motors has issued another tire recall for select Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC models that may have been delivered with defective tires.
The problem: vehicles involved in this tire recall campaign were delivered with Continental brand tires that were overcured during the manufacturing process.
The hazards: Continental claims that overcured tires “may experience a carcass break in the sidewall with sudden air loss or could develop a belt edge separation which could lead to partial or full tread/belt loss.” A tire failure or sudden loss of air pressure could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: dealers will inspect affected Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles and replace tires that have DOT number and production mold number combinations that reflect the defective units identified by Continental.
