General Motors to Recall over 40,400 Containers of Brake Fluid in US
GM said contaminated fluid can reduce stopping ability or delay braking response, and it has not identified any related warranty claims or injuries.
- General Motors is recalling 40,440 bottles of ACDelco GMW DOT 3 Brake Fluid after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration identified sediment that could compromise braking performance and increase collision risk.

- Dealers received notification beginning May 6, with owner letters dispatched starting May 18; General Motors will reimburse dealers and direct purchasers for remaining affected inventory after verification.

- Owners seeking assistance can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or reach the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for further information.
