Chevy Express and GMC Savana cutaway brake line leak

NHTSA campaign 24V702000 · Reported 2024-09-19 · General Motors, LLC

critical How serious is it? About this label

Brake failure can happen with little warning and cause a crash, so treat this as urgent and have the line inspected as soon as a dealer can see it.

What's wrong, in plain English

Certain 2013-2019 Chevrolet Express Cutaway and GMC Savana Cutaway vehicles built with the optional GM body mounts have a brake line routed too close to those mounts. Contact or rubbing can damage the line, and a damaged line can leak brake fluid. If enough fluid leaks out, the brakes can fail. GM mailed a first letter in November 2024 warning owners about the danger; a second letter goes out when the repair parts are ready, expected around February 28, 2025.
