    Holden Captiva: Tyres worn after 15,000k's

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Captiva Holden Captiva Advice Holden Captiva 2008
    Before my 60th Anniversary Holden Captiva LX had its 15,000 km service, I noted the LHS front tyre was wearing on the outer side and asked the dealer to check it. They advised me that it needed replacing, and that all four tyres needed aligning as the rear tyres are also wearing although I could not see any wear. They also indicated that rear camber bolts were needed to prevent further wear. Is there a problem with Captiva tyres wearing? If so should the repairs be covered under the warranty?

    I believe there is a problem with premature and uneven tyre wear on the Captiva, we’ve certainly had a number of reports similar to yours. The fact that the dealer wants to fit bolts to the rear suggests that’s to fix an inherent problem, and yes I would approach the dealer to have the work covered by the warranty. Tyres, of course, are not normally covered by the warranty, but what you are talking about is unreasonably premature wear.
