Some Chevy Cruzes recalled for minor defect

DETROIT — General Motors has recalled the Lordstown-built Chevrolet Cruze manufactured between Feb. 4 and Feb. 9 this year.

The problem is with the fastening bolts on the left-rear or right-rear parking brake cable brackets which could cause the parking brake bracket to separate and the parking brake to not hold the vehicle in place, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.

If the parking brake bracket separates, the parking brake may not hold the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle roll away and a crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left-rear and right-rear parking brake brackets bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin this month. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
