Details

What's wrong: The front brake calipers may have a torn or misaligned caliper piston seal which may allow brake fluid to leak.

Why it matters: If there is a brake fluid leak, braking performance may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front brake calipers, replacing the brake caliper assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2016.
