Recall Alert: 2013-2016 Chevrolet Sonic, Trax and 2013-2015 Spark
CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 318,000 model-year 2013-16 Chevrolet Sonic subcompact cars and Trax subcompact SUVs, and model-year 2013-15 Spark hatchbacks, all equipped with the Bring Your Own Media radio
The Problem: The radios may fail to provide an audible warning chime when the driver, after turning off the ignition and leaving the key in the cylinder, waits 10 minutes or longer to open the door. Without audible indicators, the driver may leave the key in the ignition, increasing the risk of a theft.
The Fix: Dealers will update the radio software for free.
What Owners Should Do: GM did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
