Consequencs:
Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
Notes:
Gm will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the bcm with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the bcm and harness connector and the bas and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. the manufacturer distributed an interim letter to customers on july 14, 2014. the recall began on august 18, 2014. owners may contact general motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (saturn). gm's number for this recall is 13036.
