Chevrolet Spark: Braking Performance May Be Reduced
Chevrolet is recalling 16,388 Spark and Matiz vehicles sold in the UK because the ABS valve may stick, causing the brake pedal to feel spongy or require more pressure to stop. The brakes will continue to work, but braking performance may be reduced. Dealers will check the ABS system and either replace the brake fluid or replace the ABS valve and brake fluid, depending on test results.
