GM Recalls 9,677 Vehicles for Intermittent Brake Light Flashing

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling 9,677 vehicles, including model year 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS, model year 2014 Chevrolet Impala, and model year 2013 Chevrolet Sonic. This recall expands a previous campaign to include the Chevrolet Sonic models.

On the affected vehicles, the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied, and the cruise control may disengage. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. If the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is actually braking, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the body control module to correct the issue. The recall began on June 13, 2013. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.
