DETROIT (Nov. 7, 2003) — General Motors Corp. is voluntarily replacing 88,000 17-inch Goodyear Eagle RSA tires that were optional equipment on 22,000 Cadillac CTS four-door passenger cars, model years 2003 and 2004.
The problem, a GM spokesman said, was cracking on the inner sidewall that was “purely cosmetic and has nothing to do with performance or handling.”
A Goodyear spokesman said it was cooperating with GM on the consumer satisfaction program, and that it was replacing the tires with 17-inch Eagle RSAs that were specially engineered for the Cadillac CTS.
