Chevrolet affected vehicles may experience a complete loss of brake vacuum assist, disabling the hydraulic boost assist.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the power assist vacuum. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may experience a complete loss of brake vacuum assist, disabling the hydraulic boost assist. As such, these vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
If the hydraulic boost assist is disabled, slowing or stopping the vehicle will require additional brake pedal effort and a lengthened stopping distance. Both of these effects increase the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic brake control module software, free of charge.
