## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2013 Cadillac ATS and model year 2013 Cadillac XTS; model year 2014 Chevrolet Impala; and 2013 Chevrolet Sonic vehicles.  Originally, in May 2013, GM recalled 1,627 model year 2013 Cadillac ATS and model year 2013 Cadillac XTS; and model year 2014 Chevrolet Impala vehicles.  In October 2013, GM informed the agency that it was adding model year 2013 Chevrolet  Sonic vehicles to this campaign , representing an additional 8,050 units.  The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 9,677.  On the affected vehicles, the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage.  Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."


## What can happen

If the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking, and the brake lamps are illuminating as intended, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the body control module.  The recall began on June 13, 2013.  Owner's may contact Chevrolet at 1\-800\-630\-2438 or Cadillac at 1\-866\-982\-2339.  GM's recall number is 13158.


## 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.
