INFORMATION
Subject:
Information on Slight or Mild Tire Feathering and Recommended Practices (Normal
Tire Wear Condition)
Models:
2006-2017 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Attention:
This Bulletin also applies to any of the above models that may be Export from North
America vehicles.
This Bulletin has been revised to add the 2016-2017 Model Years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-03-10-008D.
This bulletin provides information regarding the normal
tire wear condition of slight or mild tire feathering and
recommended practices.
If a vehicle comes into a dealership with a concern of
slight or mild feathering-type wear on the tires, review
with the customer their past tire rotation history. Tires
should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 mi) for
applicable vehicles with tires where a tire rotation is
possible or recommended. Refer to the owner manual
and review related bulletins for information on tire
rotation for vehicles with different front/rear tire/wheel
sizes.
SOME TIRE FEATHERING IS A NORMAL PART OF
TIRE WEAR AND THROUGH PROPER TIRE
ROTATION AND INFLATION, THIS TIRE WEAR CAN
BE MINIMIZED AND TIRE LIFE MAXIMIZED.
If the customer has not rotated the tires within the last
12,000 km (7,500 mi), a tire rotation in the modified
X-pattern is necessary to clean-up the feathering,
rather than placing the vehicle on the alignment
machine.
GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-xourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
