      Oopsie daisies!

      GM is recalling 4,296 Chevrolet Sonics (2012) which may be missing the front brake (inner or outer) pads.

      Official NHTSA (national highway traffic safety administration) details:

      • Vehicle Make / Model:

        Model Year(s):

      • CHEVROLET / SONIC
        2012


      • NHTSA Campaign ID Number:

        11V599000



      • Summary:

        GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 CHEVROLET SONIC VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 2, 2011, THROUGH NOVEMBER 21, 2011. ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, THE FRONT BRAKE INNER OR OUTER PAD MAY BE MISSING.



      • Consequence:

        A MISSING PAD COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.



      • Remedy:

        GM WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT BRAKES FOR A MISSING INNER OR OUTER PAD. IF A BRAKE PAD IS MISSING, DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW INNER AND OUTER PADS, A NEW BRAKE CALIPER, AND A NEW ROTOR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JANUARY 14, 2012



      • Notes:

        GM'S SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 11354. OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV .

      I guess you toasted the other thread we were discussing this in? Anyway, I was reading up on this and still trying to figure out how this is possible. I think I'm sticking with my G3.

      No? I looked before posting, but must have missed it. I'll go search harder and toast this one when I find it.

      EDIT: couldn't find a recall thread in the Sonic subforum. Help me out?

      Aha! I think Daox nuked that thread, which explains why I couldn't find the reference. Confused.

      The sonic guy must have hurt his feelings.

      I figured as much, to me it read as Aveo bashing anyway.
