Specific symptoms reported on the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo
Recalls 1
Service brakes, hydraulic: fluid
- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Chevrolet Aveo and 2009 Pontiac G3 vehicles. The vehicles may contain brake fluid which does not protect against corrosion of the valves inside the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module, affecting the closing motion of the valves.
- Risk
- If the ABS valve corrodes it may result in longer brake pedal travel or reduced performance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ABS module, free of charge, in any vehicle that did not have its module replaced under a previous customer satisfaction campaign. The recall began in late September 2014. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1‑800‑222‑1020 (Chevrolet), and 1‑800‑762‑2737 (Pontiac). GM's number for this recall is 14505.
