If this is a defect in the construction, it warrants a recall. It doesn't matter if the car is out of warranty, it should be covered by the manufacturer. In this case, it appears GM is backing out of calling this a defect requiring it to have a recall. In essence they are denying it to be a problem at all other than basic wear and tear perhaps. First of all, this issue has caused all the buyers of these vehicles who have exhibited early tire wear to spend more money than they should have on new tires, and would have worse gas mileage as a result over time. If an owner is not on top of rotating their tires and filling them up properly with air, then this problem could lead to an accident when it blows. Even if this isn't a safety issue requiring an immediate recall, it would have been covered under old GM in the same way other recalls have. GM should quickly resolve this issue and simply call this a recall and make all those old GM faithfuls see new GM in a positive light. Losing actual GM owner/customers over this is not a smart business practice, no matter how much money you lose in the short term. Take a look at Toyota as an example with the pedal sticking issue.
