The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says a brake vacuum pump can deteriorate, causing increased braking effort and longer stopping distances.
The agency has 111 consumer complaints including nine crashes and two injuries.
The investigation covers 2014 through 2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. Also involved are Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade SUVs.
The agency will determine how often the problem happens and whether a recall is necessary.
GM is monitoring complaints and warranty claims about the brakes and is working with NHTSA to evaluate them, spokesman Tom Wilkinson said Friday.
Any owner who has a problem with brake performance should have them examined by a GM dealer or independent repair shop, Wilkinson said.
They should keep receipts because they could be reimbursed for repairs if there is a recall, he added.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure quality control is much better in China...
ReplyDeleteThis has been going on for years not only with GM, but the others. Then they wonder why they aren't making their "nut" due to all the recalls - then decide...."...for our future, we will slash approx. 15K jobs, close plants and focus on gas guzzlers rather than economy or mid size cars.
ReplyDeleteSo GM, you're recalling say 3M trucks - yet that's what you want to focus on the future. Hell, my question is what have you been focusing on with ALL the recalls over the years. Your sh*t sucks!
