Record by record

29 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

    Cause
    TIRE DESCRIPTION: WILDERNESS LE TIRES (BOTH BLACK AND RAISED WHITE LETTER TIRES) PRODUCED DURING THE WEEK OF APRIL 24, 2000 (THE SEVENTEENTH WEEK OF 2000) AT THE CUERNAVACA, MEXICO PLANT WITH TIRE SERIAL NUMBERS V672WL11700 (BLACKWALL) AND V672WL21700 (RAISED WHITE LETTERS). THESE TIRES WERE USED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MODEL YEAR 2000 YUKON XL 1500 SERIES VEHICLES AND WERE ALSO OFFERED AS OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT ON THE 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 SERIES VEHICLES. TREAD SEPARATION CAN OCCUR DUE TO A LACK OF ADHESION TO THE FIRST STEEL BELT.
    Remedy
    ON JANUARY 2, 2001, FIRESTONE MADE A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEFECT AND THAT REPLACEMENT TIRES ARE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. REPLACEMENT TIRES ARE AVAILABLE AT EITHER THEIR LOCAL GM OR CHEVROLET DEALER OR BY THEIR LOCAL AUTHORIZED PARTICIPATING FIRESTONE RETAILER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 1, 2001. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FIRESTONE AT 1-800-465-1904.
    Consequence
    TREAD BELT SEPARATION MAY BE NOTICED BY IRREGULAR WEAR, NOISE, OR VIBRATION. WITH CONTINUED USE, IT MAY LEAD TO COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE TREAD/BELT PACKAGE FROM THE TIRE CARCASS, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Known issuesTire and loading information label lists inaccurate vehicle capacity weight (FMVSS 110) - recall 05V-5521

  1. Recall2006 GMC YUKON ・ 2005-07-12

    Tire and Loading Information Label Inaccuracy Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • The Tire and Loading Information Label shows an incorrect value for the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo; loading to the amount shown could exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and continuous overloading could reduce the long-term durability of chassis components.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The labels audited for the C/K full-size truck platform did not properly reflect the vehicle weight capacity with the manufacturing build variation (MBV) subtracted.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      • The Tire and Loading Information Label is attached below the door lock post (striker) on the pillar.
    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Dealers install a new partial label over the existing label; the new label contains only the corrected loading information.
      2. Make sure the current label and the surrounding area are clean and dry, using a non-oil based cleaner, preferably isopropyl alcohol.
      3. Align the new label over the matching text on the current label, apply it and smooth it from the center out.

      Parts

      • If additional labels are required, dealers follow the bulletin's ordering instructions to determine the correct label to order.

      Caution

      • The bulletin states that this recall will expire May 31, 2006.
      • Vehicle eligibility is to be confirmed before beginning repairs; not all vehicles within the breakpoints may be involved.

    • Condition:The Tire and Loading Information Label shows an incorrect value for the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo; loading to the amount shown could exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and continuous overloading could reduce the long-term durability of chassis components.
    • Cause:The labels audited for the C/K full-size truck platform did not properly reflect the vehicle weight capacity with the manufacturing build variation (MBV) subtracted.

    • Caution:Vehicle eligibility is to be confirmed before beginning repairs; not all vehicles within the breakpoints may be involved.
    Cause
    CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE SHIPPED WITH TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS LISTING AN INACCCURATE VEHICLE CAPACITY WEIGHT.
    Remedy
    OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH CORRECTED LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
    Consequence
    A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING SPECIFICATIONS OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
