- Summary
- On some vehicles, the sealing surfaces for a hydraulic brake hose on a front brake caliper were covered by paint residue. Brake fluid gradually dissolves the paint, opening a small path between the sealing surface and the gasket allowing brake fluid to leak when the brake is applied.
- Consequence
- This can result in increased stopping distances and a possible vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove paint from the brake caliper, replace copper gaskets and bleed the front brakes.

Has your Chevrolet been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Chevrolet dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
