3 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On certain GM vehicles, the endcap on the start/stop transmission accumulator may be missing bolts. This can let transmission fluid leak out. Over time, the leak can get bad enough that the vehicle loses the ability to move forward. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with something that can ignite it, it could catch fire.
The rear brake caliper pistons on these vehicles may not have enough of a protective coating, which can allow gas pockets to form inside them. If this happens, it can reduce how well the rear brakes perform. This affects a range of Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models. To fix the problem, GM will notify owners, and dealers will bleed the vehicle's brake system. This repair is free of charge.
General Motors is recalling a range of vehicles, including the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Colorado, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Acadia, GMC Canyon and GMC Terrain. The high pressure fuel pump, part of the fuel system, may come loose from its mounting flange while the vehicle is being driven. If the pump detaches, it could damage the nearby high pressure fuel line.
