Chevrolet is recalling 2020-2021 Silverado 2500 models with specific spare tires that may cause ABS system failure, increasing crash risk. Owners must contact GM for free repairs.
An ABS system that cannot control the rear wheels independently increases the risk of a crash.
Chevrolet is recalling certain 2020-2021 Silverado 2500 trucks that have a spare tire with a risk of causing ABS system failure. This could increase the chance of a crash if the spare tire is used with other tires.
The spare tire in these vehicles has a 17-inch size that can interfere with the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) when used with other 20-inch or 18-inch tires. This interference may prevent the ABS from working properly during sudden stops, increasing crash risk.
Owners of 2020-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 vehicles with specific spare tire configurations are affected. Drivers using these vehicles with the recalled spare tires face the highest risk.
Check if your 2020-2021 Silverado 2500 or GMC Sierra 2500 has a 17-inch spare tire (RPO ZHQ or ZXT) paired with either a 20-inch accessory road tire (RPO REM) or 18-inch accessory road tire (RPO Q2V).
