Defect summary | General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 chevrolet aveo and 2009 pontiac g3 vehicles. The vehicles may contain brake fluid which does not protect against corrosion of the valves inside the anti-lock brake system (abs) module, affecting the closing motion of the valves. |
Consequence summary | If the abs valve corrodes it may result in longer brake pedal travel or reduced performance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. |
Corrective action | Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the abs module, free of charge, in any vehicle that did not have its module replaced under a previous customer satisfaction campaign. The recall began in late september 2014. Owners may contact gm customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (chevrolet), and 1-800-762-2737 (pontiac). Gm's number for this recall is 14505. |
Recall notes | Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153). |
