THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL OCTOBER 31, 2004.
Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac CTS vehicles equipped with Goodyear 17-inch tires may have a condition in
which a bulge or crack may appear on the inner sidewall of the tires. Although a crack or bulge may be unsightly, it will not affect the performance of the
tires. This is not a safety issue.
This program will expire on October, 31, 2004.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the Goodyear 17-inch tires.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac CTS vehicles equipped with Goodyear 17-inch tires and built within the VIN breakpoints
shown.
Important
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) or GM Access Screen (Canada only) or DCS Screen 445
(IPC only) prior to beginning program repairs. [Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]
Computer listings containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data have been prepared, and are being furnished
to involved dealers with the program bulletin. The customer name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in
this program. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the program bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
These dealer listings may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing
to the follow-up necessary to complete this program.
