Details

What's wrong: The rear brake calipers may have been produced with an incorrect lubricant, potentially causing the rubber seals to swell and the brakes to drag.

Why it matters: Brake drag may result in overheating of the brake pads, affecting the braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear brake calipers, including the brake hose gasket, brake fluid and wheel to hub lubricant, free of charge. The recall began October 29, 2019.
