Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2015 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles manufactured between February 4 and February 9, 2015, because the parking brake brackets may not have been properly fastened during assembly. The fastening bolts could back out completely, causing the parking brake bracket to separate and preventing the parking brake from holding the vehicle in place, which increases the risk of the vehicle rolling away and crashing.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to be notified about the recall. Dealers will inspect and tighten the left-rear and right-rear parking brake bracket bolts as necessary at no charge. General Motors' recall number for this issue is 15135. The recall began on March 24, 2015.
