Cadillac Optiq and Equinox EV tire tread can peel off

NHTSA campaign 25V704000 · Reported 2025-10-16 · General Motors, LLC

high How serious is it? About this label

A tread coming off a tire while you drive can cause a crash, so have the tires checked promptly; the notice does not tell owners to park the vehicle.

What's wrong, in plain English

Some 2025-2026 Cadillac Optiq and Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles came with 21-inch Continental all-season tires. On one or more of these tires, the tread — the rubber layer that grips the road — can come partly or completely off the tire. Dealers will look at all four tires and replace any that were built during a specific production week, free of charge. GM mailed owner notification letters on November 19, 2025.
