## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2013\-2015 Cadillac XTS vehicles manufactured February 14, 2012, to August 22, 2014, and 2014\-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured November 5, 2012, to September 2, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the electronic parking brake piston actuation arm may not fully retract causing the brake pads to stay partially engaged.


## What can happen

Brake pads that remain partially engaged with the rotors may cause excessive brake heat that may result in a fire.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic parking brake software, free of charge.  The recall began on October 28, 2014.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020, or Cadillac customer service at 1\-800\-458\-8006.  GM's number for this recall is 14471.


## 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.
