Defect Summary:
Brake Parts Inc. (BPI) is recalling certain Hydro-Max brake master cylinders branded as Raybestos p/n MC390565, NAPA p/n 390565, Carquest p/n E151557, and GM AC Delco p/n 18M870. These cylinders contain a 2.0 inch bore and 84 cubic inch reservoir equipped with a brake fluid level indicator switch and without a differential pressure switch, manufactured between July 1, 2011 and April 12, 2012. The brake fluid level indicator (FLI) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.

Consequence Summary:
If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
BPI will notify customers and replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. The recall began in June 2013. Owners may contact BPI at 1-815-363-9000.

Recall Notes:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

I have a Malibu 2013 eco. It has 48000 miles on it. recently the car has been dying while driving, the steering wheel will almost lock up on me and it hardly has any power. The check engine light stays on it says that the battery charging system needs serviced. However I took it in to Chevrolet they serviced the recalls that were on the vehicle unfortunately it still runs poorly and doing the same thing it was before I took it in. I called the service department and they said "they fixed what they were suppose to fix on the recalls and now I will have to pay to have it serviced bc my warranty has expired. I am furious. As I have been reading many others that drive this car are having the same problems yet nothing is being done. These vehicles are going to kill people and nothing is being done. I think it is time that the customers are reimbursed for these deadly vehicles.

I purchased a 2013 chevy malibu in december of 2014. It had 26,000 miles on it at time of purchase. Now it has 38, 000 and of course in the dead heat of the summer the factory warranty is out and the compressor just went out on the vehicle. I have only had this car five months and the dealership expects me to pay for the repair. Since i purchased the car the Front passenger seat has been repaired due to something in the wiring as well as the back exterior light that suddenly quit working. SUGGESTIONS?
