General Motors has issued a recall for certain examples of the 2023 model year GMC Acadia crossover due to an issue related to noncompliant tire certification labels.
The problem: affected units of the GMC Acadia may not have a legible tire certification label. Located on the driver’s side B-pillar, this label should contain the correct tire-size information for the vehicle, which is critical for compliance with S4.3.3 of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, “Tire selection and rims and motor home / recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less.”
The hazards:Â Using the incorrect tire size on a vehicle may increase the risk of a crash. The label should clearly display the correct tire size for the vehicle.
The fix: dealers are instructed to replace the vehicle tire certification label with a correct label that includes the correct tire sizing in clearly legible print. Technicians are instructed to remove the incorrect label before placing the correct one.
Affected components: tire certification label located around the driver’s side B-pillar.

The Acadia is one of the few vehicles left in the GM line-up that I have seriously considered purchasing.
However, I’m constantly reading about problems with this model and am concerned that, if purchased, the vehicle may end up being a pile of junk not too far down the road.
Is anyone out there a long-term Acadia owner who can provide some feedback and calm my fears…
