- TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
- Problem
- General Motors, LLC. (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 vehicles equipped with a 17" spare tire (RPO ZHQ or ZXT) and either the 20" accessory road tire (RPO REM) or the 18" accessory road tire (RPO Q2V). Operating the spare tire with other 20" or 18" tires can prevent the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) from engaging.

Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020; GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212329780.

What this recall means for you
Certain 2020-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 trucks equipped with a 17-inch spare tire and either an 18-inch or 20-inch accessory road tire may have a problem: using the spare with other 18-inch or 20-inch tires can prevent the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) from engaging.
When the ABS cannot control the rear wheels independently, the risk of a crash increases because the brakes may not perform as designed in a hard stop or on slippery pavement.
Dealers will provide the appropriate spare tire and apply a new spare tire information label, free of charge. Owners can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
