The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while attempting to release the parking brake, there was no tension on the parking brake handle, and the parking brake was no longer able to be activated. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the parking brake handle assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. The local dealer was contacted and informed that the parking brake handle assembly was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain vehicles. The affected vehicles have front seat-mounted side impact air bags whose inflator may rupture upon its deployment.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side impact air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 01320.
