By System
The 2021 Chevrolet Express has two recalls, the more serious being a fire risk on 6.6L gasoline engine models where the positive battery cable terminal can contact the fuse block and cause an electrical short.
The tire recall covers certain Continental tires fitted to these vehicles: the tires may have been over-cured during manufacturing, which can cause the sidewall to crack or the tread belt to separate, leading to sudden air loss or tread loss while driving.
