The vacuum pump recall on the Chevy Cruze is caused by a problem with the electronic vacuum pump that is used on the braking system in the car. The electronic vacuum pump is there to provide You with additional braking support when You are trying to stop the car. The vacuum pump has a known problem of failing while You are braking and that can lead to a loss of brake feel and pressure. If You want to know if Your vehicle is involved in the recall You should contact a Chevrolet dealership with Your VIN to see if it is included. If Your car is included in the recall a Chevy dealership will change out the vacuum pump for You free of charge.

You will loose engine oil-quickly and eventually the vehicle will prompt you “engine power will be reduced to slow down the vehicle as engine oil leaks out.
