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.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
