General Motors is recalling 292,879
model-year 2011-2012 versions of the Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan due to a problem with the brakes, the automaker reported today.
The affected vehicles are equipped
with the 1.4-liter engine and six-speed automatic transmission. In these
sedans, a loss of brake assist could occur, forcing the driver to exert extra
pressure on the brake pedal. "GM is aware of 27 alleged low-speed crashes
but no injuries related to brake performance, which could include this
issue," the automaker said in a statement. GM also said that vehicles with
other engine and transmission combinations aren't affected.
Chevrolet has not yet provided an
owner notification schedule, but dealers will remove and replace a microswitch
in the power brake vacuum pipe assembly for free. Owners can call Chevrolet at
866-694-6546 for more information.
