GM recalls 36,000 crossovers over tire pressure

General Motors Co is recalling more than 36,000 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain small crossovers worldwide to repair the tire pressure monitoring system, the U.S. automaker said on Wednesday. The recall affects cars built for the 2012 model year. GM said the system may fail to alert to the driver when a vehicle’s tire pressure falls below federal standards. Underinflated tires can result in tire overloading and overheating, which could lead to a blowout and possible crash, GM said in a statement. Premature wear of tires can also lead to poor handling and fuel economy.
