ON 3/23/2019 BOUGHT BRIDGESTONE TIRE PACKAGE FOR 2012 CADILLAC CTS PERFORMANCE. MY VEHICLE REQUIRES 2 SIZES OF TIRES, 265/45/18 & 235/50/18. THE TIRES ARE ALMOST BALD ARE 265/45/18 POTENZA. ON 11/29/2019 TIRE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE TO RIGHT REAR TIRE. SINCE WEATHER IS COLD, I EXPECT THE TIRE LIGHT TO COME ON AND OFF WHEN AIR HAS BEEN PUT IN. I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO PUT AIR, AND THE TECH INDICATED THE BACK 2 TIRES HAS A THREAD DEPTH OF 2 AND UNSAFE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE WHO I GOT THE TIRES FROM AND INSTALLATION. THEY PUT THE TIRE UP ON A SCOPE AND BOTH 2 TIRES IN BACK WERE ALMOST BALD IN THE MIDDLE. THE THREAD ON THE OUTER TIRES SEEMED FINE, BUT THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE TIRE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY BALD. THE TIRE TECHNICIAN TOOK MY CAR FOR TEST DRIVE TO SEE IF THERE WERE BALL JOINTS, SUSPENSION OR OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE WEAR ON THE TIRE AND THE TECH FOUND NONE. I GO FAITHFULLY EVERY 3,000 MILES FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT THE DEALERSHIP SO IF THERE ARE ISSUES, I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THEM AND CORRECT THEM IMMEDIATELY. THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND AND THE ONLY EXPLANATION THAT FIRESTONE CAN GIVE ME IS THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT MADE FOR YOUR CAR SINCE IT WAS A PERFORMANCE CAR.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 2, 2014 that they are recalling 554,328 model year 2003-2014 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured August 16, 2001, to April 28, 2014, and 2004-2006 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured March 20, 2003, to August 11, 2006. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2014. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14172.
