2012 CHEVROLET VOLT
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Chevrolet Volt vehicles manufactured between March 1, 2012, and April 17, 2012, due to a problem with the brake pressure modulator valve. In affected vehicles, the brake system may fail to release pressure from the front brakes during anti-lock brake system, electronic stability control, or traction control events. This can cause one or both front brakes to lock up without releasing, potentially resulting in a loss of steering control and increased stopping distance, which increases the risk of a crash.
General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will install a new brake pressure modulator valve at no charge. The recall was expected to begin July 12, 2013. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546 for more information. GM's recall number is 13184.
