General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Colorado vehicles.

Risk: A tire label that does not accurately reflect the installed tires may result in the installation of incorrectly sized tires. In addition, the TPMS may not warn the driver of a drop in tire pressure. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
