Issue
On certain Cobalt SS vehicles equipped with a turbo-charged engine, a front brake line may come in contact with the underbody of the vehicle. Brake lines positioned against the underbody may result in a brake line durability issue. However, as there is no relative motion between the brake line and the underbody, and the brake lines are covered with a protective vinyl layer for long-term durability, the brake line wear would be minimal; however perforation of the line is still possible which could lead to brake fluid leak and cause a reduction in braking. In such case the brake pedal stroke will increase and stopping distance will be degraded which could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and adjust brake line position on affected vehicles.
