Known issues on the 2016 Equinox. One recall is on the federal record for this year: certification labels printed with the wrong tire and rim size and the wrong cold inflation pressure, which can lead an owner or a shop to fit the wrong size or set the pressure incorrectly. Complaints are more numerous at 395, weighted toward the engine at 153 and wipers and visibility at 104, with the power train third at 25. Wheel and tire specifications, wiper module service and engine mechanical diagnosis are all documented here with the relevant torque values and procedures.
