## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Encore vehicles manufactured August 26, 2014, to February 9, 2015, and 2015 Chevrolet Trax vehicles manufactured October 13, 2014, to February 3, 2015.  The affected vehicles have tire placards that do not provide the rim size information for the front or rear wheels.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms \(10,000 pounds\) or less."


## What can happen

If the label is missing front and rear rim size information, the owner may replace the rims with ones that are an incorrect size, increasing the risk of crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and will send owners a corrected label, free of charge.  The recall April 29, 2015.  Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1\-800\-521\-7300, and Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15166.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
