TIRE WARRANTIES IRREGULAR/PREMATURE WEAR

TIRE SERVICE ASSISTANCE (Revised to Include Michelin Distribution Centres)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: ALL MODELS

As in the past, tires continue to be warranted separately by the Tire Manufacturer against defects in material or workmanship. Details of this limited warranty may be found in each Tire Company Warranty booklet, which is part of the glove box material. The GM Warranty and Owner Assistance Booklet also now states that the GM Dealer will assist the customer in obtaining a tire adjustment, if necessary.

Tire conditions caused by vehicle defects are warranted by General Motors. This statement is now included in the GM Warranty and Owner Assistance Booklet. This applies during the Basic Coverage period, which is 12 months/20,000 kilometers, and should be applied to all past and current models. Examples of tire conditions that fall within GM's responsibility rather than the tire manufacturer may include tire damage during vehicle assembly, tire damage due to tire-to-vehicle interference, and irregular/premature tire wear. Tire wear due to abusive driving is not covered by the GM warranty. If tires are needed, they should be purchased from the nearest tire store carrying that make of tire.

In cases where an inadequate response is received from the tire store, or where additional assistance is needed, GM Dealers should directly contact the nearest Tire Company shown on the attached list. It will be necessary to confirm that the initial contact with the retail store has been made.

Method of payment and adjustment, transportation and delivery date should also be established at the time of contact with the Tire Company. These details may vary.

If it is felt that further assistance is required, the Zone Office Service Department should be contacted.

This service helps to eliminate unnecessary delays in obtaining replacements for original equipment tires, and to obtain expert advice when needed.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
