General Motors is recalling 1,177 model year 2014 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured November 15, 2012, to May 27, 2014. . The electronic parking brake piston actuation arm may not fully retract, causing the brake pads to stay partially engaged. Brake pads that remain partially engaged with the rotors may cause excessive brake heat that may result in a fire. GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module with new software, free of charge. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 15100.
