— A General Motors Continental tire recall has caused a recall of more than 7,500 of these vehicles because the tires could blowout.
- 2020 Buick Enclave
- 2020 Cadillac XT5
- 2020 Chevrolet Traverse
- 2020 GMC Acadia
- 2020-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
- 2020-2021 GMC Sierra 1500
The Continental tires were installed as original equipment on the vehicles, but GM says the tires were overcured.
The overcured tires may suffer breaks in the sidewalls resulting in a sudden loss of air. A faulty Continental tire could also develop a belt separation which could lead to partial or full tread/belt loss.
In September 2020, Continental notified GM about the overcured tires which caused the automaker to open an investigation.
