NHTSA Complaint #732892 — 1998 CADILLAC CATERA

IN JANUARY 1999 I RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN # 81-31-02 FROM CADILLAC MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION INFORMING ME THAT THE CATERA HAD A TENDENCY TO "...DRIFT OR LEAD TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND/OR THE FRONT TIRES APPEAR TO BE WEARING MORE ON THE INNER SHOULDER." I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE REPAIR PER THEIR REQUEST BUT THE TIRES CONTINUED TO WEAR ON THE INNER EDGE TO THE POINT OF STEEL TREAD SHOWING THROUGH BUT STERLING & CADILLAC MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION NOW SAY THERE'S "NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT". IN THE MEANTIME I NEED 4 NEW TIRES. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE NONMENCLATURE OF THIS VEHICLE CAUSING PREMATURE BREAKDOWN OF THE TIRES. *AK (TIRESIZE: 225/55-16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/55-16 )
