Recall Alert: 2012 Chevrolet Volt

1344200007 1425510457515 jpeg

The affected vehicles were manufactured from March 1 through April 17, 2012 (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb), and use a faulty brake pressure modulator valve. In these cars, brake pressure from the front brakes during a situation when the antilock brake or traction control systems engage is not relieved. If this happens, the brakes may lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify all affected owners starting Friday, and dealers will install a new brake pressure modulator valve free of charge. Owners can call Chevrolet at 866-694-6546 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
