General Motors is recalling more
than 36,000 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain crossover SUVs to fix tire
pressure monitors that don't work right.
The company says the systems in
the 2012 vehicles should warn drivers when tire pressure drops 25 percent below
the recommended pressure. But in the recalled vehicles, the warning light
doesn't come on until the tire pressure falls more than 25 percent.
Federal safety regulators say
underinflated tires can overheat. That could lead to a blowout and a crash. But
GM says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem. The recalled
vehicles were built between July 28 and Sept. 6 of 2011. Dealers will update a
computer that controls the monitors free of charge.
