Report Receipt Date: May 14, 2014
Component(s): Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Potential Number of Units Affected: 140,067
Maufacturer: General Motors
Summary:
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year
2014 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured June 12, 2013,
through May 2, 2014, and equipped with a 2.5L engine
with the auto stop/start option. 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."
Consequence:
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.
Remedy:
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic
brake control module software, free of charge. The recall is
expected to begin around May 30, 2014. Owners may contact
General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020. General
Motors number for this recall is 14201.

Potential Number of Units Affected: 103,158
Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
Summary:
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year
2005-2007 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured
March 29, 2004, through June 22, 2007. In the affected
vehicles, the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC) housing can expand and cause the headlamp low beam relay control circuit wire to bend. If the wire is repeatedly bent, it may fracture causing a loss of low beam headlamp illumination.
Consequence:
The loss of low beam headlamp illumination will decrease the driver's visibility, as well as the vehicle's conspicuity to other motorists, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy:
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the UBEC housing unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 13146. Note: Model year 2008-2013 Chevrolet Corvettes will be covered under customer satisfaction program number 14203 for the same issue.

Manufacturer: General Motors
Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Consequence: Any of the failed parts increase the consequence of a crash.
