CarRecallWatch- Component
- TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
- Problem
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020 Cadillac CT6 vehicles equipped with dealer-installed accessory 20" x 8.50" wheels (RPO 5JO or SHH). The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors use the incorrect wireless radio frequency and cannot illuminate the low pressure warning light when the tire pressure drops below the recommended level. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
- Risk
- Drivers may drive the vehicle with low tire pressure without a low tire pressure warning, negatively impacting the vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace all four TPMS sensors with the correct sensors, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2019. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733. GM's number for this recall is N192279200.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2020 vehicles with dealer-installed 20-inch accessory wheels have tire pressure monitoring sensors that use the wrong wireless radio frequency. Because of this, the low tire pressure warning light may not illuminate when a tire's pressure drops below the recommended level. The vehicles therefore do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 138 for tire pressure monitoring systems.
Driving with underinflated tires without a warning can affect handling and increase the risk of a crash. Drivers may not realize a tire is losing pressure, so it is important to check your tires regularly with a gauge rather than relying on the warning light alone.
GM will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will replace all four tire pressure monitoring sensors with the correct sensors at no cost. Owners can contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733, quoting recall number N192279200, and can check their vehicle identification number for open recalls.
