NHTSA recall 96V117000
Tires · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These tires have bead damage which occured during tire mounting.
Why it matters: This damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area causes a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This condition will result in a slow air loss causing the tire to go flat. However, it is possible for the damage to result in a rapid air loss causing injuries to anyone…
The fix: Dealers will demount each tire and inspect for bead damage. If bead damage is found, the tire will be replaced.
