NHTSA Campaign #04V190000 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE

2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU -- Some of these passenger vehicles have an electronic control unit (ECU) that may calculate a higher than actual vehicle speed because of an erratic rear-wheel speed sensor signal, and cause ABS activation where it is not needed or needed ABS activation to be extended during braking as the vehicle speed drops to about 3 mph.

Unexpected ABS activation could increase stopping distance up to about 11 feet depending on the grade of the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will reprogram the ABS controller. Owner notification began on June 16, 2004. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #04V190000 »
