What is wrong

Certain vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." the tire label table specified the 15 inch spare for the front disc/rear drum brake system and it should specify a 16 inch spare tire size.

The risk

A 15" diameter replacement spare tire can not be installed on the front axle due to a fit interference with the brake caliper.

The fix

Owners will be mailed a corrected label with installation instructions or the customers could have their dealers to install the label for them. The recall began on november 29, 2005. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-[removed].
