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.
