GM Warranty Statement on Tire Sealant
General Motors covers OE tires as part of the General Motors New Vehicle Warranty. The temporary use of tire
sealant (as supplied with a GM inflator kit) may not be endorsed by certain tire manufacturers. General Motors has
independently validated the temporary use of such sealant when used in accordance with the instructions provided
in the vehicle's Owner Manual.
When the instructions found in the Owner Manual have been followed correctly, GM will continue to cover the tire
under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty, whether or not the practice conflicts with the policies of the individual
tire manufacturer. Due to this policy, it is advantageous for a customer to return their vehicle to a General Motors
dealership for tire warranty issues if GM Tire Sealant has been used.
Important: Road hazard is not covered. This includes punctures, cuts, impact breaks, etc.
GM Inflator Kits/Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors
ONLY use the tire sealant included with GM Inflator Kits for temporary repair of tire air leaks. General Motors has
tested this sealant and its compatibility with on-wheel mounted tire pressure monitor sensors. After inflator kit use,
the on-wheel mounted tire pressure sensor should be inspected for any damage and replaced/cleaned as needed.
