2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU; 2014 BUICK LACROSSE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2014 Buick Lacrosse vehicles manufactured between January 29 and March 31, 2014, and 2014 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured between February 7 and March 31, 2014, all equipped with 17-inch front brake rotors. These vehicles may have had brake rotors intended for the rear of the car accidentally installed on the front. Because the rear rotors are thinner than the front rotors, though the same diameter, a front brake pad may detach from the caliper, causing a sudden reduction in braking power that lengthens the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increases the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners of the recall, which began on June 20, 2014. Dealers will inspect the front brake rotors and install correct rotors with new brake pads at no charge if necessary. Affected owners should contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 for Buick vehicles or 1-800-222-1020 for Chevrolet vehicles, referencing recall number 14128.
