General Motors is recalling more than 210,000 SUVs and pickup trucks because a faulty brake component could reduce the effectiveness of the rear brakes and increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The GM brake recall affects certain 2018-2019 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs, Impala and Cruze sedans, and Bolt and Volt electric vehicles; GMC Terrain SUVs; Buick Lacrosse and Regal cars; Cadillac XTS SUVs; and 2018 Chevrolet Malibu sedans.

NHTSA said that a faulty brake-system component may cause bubbles to form in the brake fluid, which could reduce rear braking performance.

GM was informed about the problem by the part supplier ZF, according to a NHTSA filing. It is a problem that has affected Audi and Volkswagen, Dodge and Jeep, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, a GM spokesman said.

      Brake Maintenance Is Often Overlooked
      By juliaanderson
      One thing I've noticed is that many drivers pay attention to engine performance or tyre condition but often forget about their braking system until something feels wrong.
      I've started making it a habit to check the condition of my brake pads during regular maintenance instead of waiting for warning signs. It gives me more confidence on the road and can help avoid unnecessary repair costs later.
      What about everyone else here? Do you replace brake pads on a schedule or only when you notice noise, vibration, or reduced braking performance? I'd be interested to hear what maintenance routine has worked best for you.

      SAF-Holland Launches Haldex BrakeSight Brake Wear Monitoring
      By Counterman
      SAF-Holland has launched BrakeSight, a brake monitoring system for Haldex air disc brakes that provides continuous, real-time visibility into wear at the wheel end. The company said the system targets fleets seeking more predictable brake service intervals and streamlined repair planning.
      SAF-Holland said BrakeSight helps fleets schedule brake service at the optimal moment, extend rotor life, avoid unnecessary repairs and reduce overall maintenance costs.
      How BrakeSight Brake Monitoring Works
      BrakeSight is an optional feature for the Haldex ModulT air disc brake. As the adjustment mechanism rotates to compensate for pad and rotor wear, the system monitors this movement and translates it into a percentage of remaining pad and rotor life at each wheel end.
      The sensor connects to a frame-mounted electronic control unit (ECU), which converts the signal and outputs real-time data via CAN. Designed for both tractor and trailer air disc brakes, BrakeSight is J1939 compliant and compatible with all telematics platforms. SAF-Holland works with telematics providers selected by the fleet and offers open integration without exclusive partnerships.
      Built for Real-World Fleet Conditions
      SAF-Holland said BrakeSight combines durability with ease of use. Features include:
      Continuous measurement of brake pad wear; Ultrasonically welded sensor housing for long-term durability; IP6K9K sealing for harsh road and wash-down environments; Sensor warranty of 3 years or 350,000 miles, matching ABS coverage; Operating temperature range from -40 C to 125 C. Because all ModulT air disc brake calipers include the sensor mounting feature as standard, OEMs and fleets can add BrakeSight at any stage without replacing the caliper. This supports flexibility throughout the vehicle life cycle.
      By providing real-time insight into brake wear, the system helps fleets create more accurate maintenance schedules, reduce unplanned downtime and protect brake components. The company positioned this as a way to lower total cost of ownership and improve uptime.
