General Motors is recalling four model year 2012 Chevrolet Volt vehicles manufactured March 1, 2012, through April 17, 2012.

Due to a brake pressure modulator valve problem, the vehicles do not relieve brake pressure from the front brakes during an anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), or traction control event. One or both front brakes may lock up and not release, which could cause a loss of steering control and/or a lengthened distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new brake pressure modulator valve free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 12, 2013.

Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546. GM's recall number is 13184.
