SERVICE BRAKES

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The electronic brake boost system in your vehicle helps you stop quickly by giving you extra power when you press the brake pedal. But in some 2020-2021 models, the connection between the sensor and the system can get contaminated, cutting off communication.
Risk if Unfixed
If this connection is disrupted, you'll need to press the brake pedal harder and longer to slow down or stop. This could make it harder to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will swap out the electronic brake boost module for a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
