Issue

On certain vehicles equipped with 5.7L engines and dual exhaust, the vehicle may have been built with a missing spare tire passenger side tire heat shield. This could allow thermal damage to the spare tire to occur. If a damaged spare tire were to be used, rapid air loss due to tread separation or side wall rupture could occur, potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect for the presence of a passenger side spare tire heat shield. If the passenger side spare tire heat shield is not present, a heat shield will be installed.
