A defect affecting certain 2014 Chevrolet Impala cars will have over one thousand owners returning to their dealerships a second time for repairs. According to reports, some Impala’s repaired under recall 14V-541 may have existing electronic parking brake software that will cause the brake pads to stay partially engaged with the rotor. The driver may experience poor vehicle acceleration, undesired deceleration, excessive brake heat, and premature wear to some brake components. (The park brake indicator may not illuminate even though the parking brake is engaged.)

To correct the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module with new software. Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM’s number for this recall is 15100 and the NHTSA campaign number is 15V-085 . (Note: This recall covers a limited population of vehicles that were remedied incorrectly under recall 14V-541.)
