Recall 09V-153: 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
GENERAL MOTORS CORP. recall for parking brake, reported to NHTSA on May 6, 2009, covering about 15,393 vehicles.
The problem
Gm is recalling 15,393 my 2009 chevrolet traverse vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." these vehicles may have a park brake cable link (Connector) that is not to specification. This connector may fracture when the park brake pedal is depressed.
The risk
If the transmission shift lever is in the park position, there will be no unintended vehicle movement. However, if the keys are left in the ignition, the transmission shift lever is in any position other than park, and the vehicle is parked on a sufficient slope, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. This could result in a crash without prior warning.
The fix
Dealers are to replace the park brake cable link (Connector) free of charge. Gm anticipates that the dealer bulletin will be sent may 5, 2009 and owner letters will be mailed in june 2009. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, or at www.gmownercenter.com.
