The recall on the Chevy Cruze for the vacuum pump is due to an issue with the electronic vacuum pump that helps with the braking system in the car. This pump is designed to give you additional braking support when stopping your vehicle. There has been a known issue with the pump failing during braking, which can result in a loss of brake response and pressure. To see if your car is part of the recall, reach out to a Chevrolet dealership with your VIN number for confirmation. If your vehicle is affected, the dealership will replace the vacuum pump at no cost to you.
General Motors is recalling all Chevrolet Cruze vehicles from the 2011-2012 model years that have a 1.4L DOHC gasoline turbo engine, 6T40 front-wheel drive automatic transmission, and an electric vacuum pump for brake assist. The pump in these vehicles may not function properly, which could lead to intermittent loss of brake assist or brake failure.
The 2018 Chevy Cruz is part of a current recall. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent a rapid loss of engine oil. Failure to resolve it could result in the vehicle's system alerting you to a reduction in engine power in order to slow down the vehicle as oil continues to leak. Ignoring this issue and driving the vehicle without sufficient oil can lead to significant damage, such as a blown engine and a cracked block, which may cost thousands of dollars to repair. The cost for this maintenance in September 2022 is $129.00 for the P/N 12704586 A/C Delco Vacuum Pump (Dealer Cost), $150.00 for labor, and $52.00 for an oil change, which will also be required.
