What the official report says

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Silverado 1500 vehicles equipped with certain accessory road tires and a 17" spare tire. The 17" spare tire provided with the vehicle is not compatible for use with the accessory wheels, which can cause the anti-lock brake system (ABS) to not function properly under certain conditions.

Official NHTSA campaign record

Why the reported issue matters

An ABS system that does not function properly can increase the risk of a crash.

Official NHTSA campaign record

Prepare your observation

Use the campaign description to identify the component being discussed. Do not loosen hardware, lift the vehicle or operate a suspect accessory to test the reported failure.

A reported defect describes the campaign. It does not establish what caused a symptom on your individual vehicle, and absence of a symptom does not establish that an open recall is complete.

The reported manufacturer remedy

Dealers will provide a new 17" spare tire and wheel assembly that is compatible with the accessory wheels, free of charge. Dealers will also apply a new spare tire information label, and provide owners with an owner's manual insert clarifying which spare tire to use with the accessory road tires and with the 17" original tires. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2022. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-462-8782 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212346510.

Your campaign-specific service questions

Use these questions with the official report. Keep the answers beside the remedy record; “discussed” records a conversation, not a completed repair.

  1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 21V985000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

    A matching model and year is only a starting point. The official lookup or manufacturer must establish the individual vehicle’s status.

  2. What remedy, required parts or software, and appointment arrangements are currently available for this VIN, and which interim instructions apply?

    The source does not explicitly establish current remedy availability. Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions.

  3. Which tire, wheel, attachment or related accessory is covered, and how will the completed remedy be documented?

    Compare the answer with the reported component: TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE.

  4. Which reported corrective actions (apply, provide, insert) were performed under 21V985000, and which component or function did they address?

    Compare the provider’s answer with the exact remedy below. Keep the action and affected component on the work order; ordinary maintenance or a visual check may describe different work.

  5. How do I obtain and confirm the corrected label or vehicle information specified in 21V985000?

    Ask which version or item applies to this vehicle and keep the correction record. Use the manufacturer’s instructions for any label or information replacement.

  6. What dated document records the remedy performed under 21V985000, and what should I do if the reported concern remains?

    Keep campaign completion and unresolved symptoms as separate questions. A saved worksheet or booked appointment does not establish a repair.
