GM Recalls 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana Incomplete Vehicles

General Motors is recalling 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana incomplete vehicles because they lack a required tire pressure monitoring system.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a missing safety system (TPMS) that increases the risk of a crash due to under-inflated tires, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana incomplete vehicles equipped with a 159-inch wheel base. These vehicles were manufactured between August 2, 2013, and January 30, 2016. The affected vehicles were shipped to final stage manufacturers without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which means they do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138.

Without a TPMS, drivers are not alerted if one or more tires become under-inflated. Driving with under-inflated tires increases the risk of a crash. The recall affects 321 vehicles.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will install the necessary hardware and software to equip the vehicles with a TPMS at no charge. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15819.
