General Motors Issues One Recall, Expands Another

The General is recalling certain trims of the 2025-2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV because the Continental tires could delaminate — or, in other words, fall apart. Obviously, if a tire falls apart at speed, that could lead to a crash.

The recall is limited to the 21-inch Continental CrossContact RX 275/40R21 tires, and if we want to get even more specific, it’s the ones produced the week of Oct. 6, 2024.

Owners might notice unusual wear, bulging, excessive vibration, or excessive noise.

It’s not just the Equinox — other vehicles using the same tires are also affected. If you have those Continentals on your ride, get thee to the service center ASAP.

Meanwhile, a recall issued in April for GM’s 6.2-liter L87 V8 may expand, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into additional complaints about engine bearing failures.

The affected engines are found in several GM models, including the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV. NHTSA’s latest report suggests the GM’s engine issue may extend to a much larger pool of vehicles.

The original recall issued in late April captured 721,000 full-size vehicles produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. NHTSA says it’s now looking into an additional 286,051 vehicles from model years 2019 to 2021, along with some 2024 vehicles produced beyond the cutoff date, after receiving an additional 1,157 complaints.

NHTSA has decided to escalate the matter to a full engineering analysis before deciding whether the scope of the recall should be enlarged.
