What's wrong?
The brake lines on 2013-2019 Express Cutaway Van and Savana Cutaway Van vehicles carry brake fluid under pressure through rigid metal piping. When the driver presses the brake pedal, that pressure moves through the lines and helps the brake system clamp the wheels. The lines need enough space from nearby body mounts so vibration and road movement do not rub metal against metal.
On vehicles with the optional GM-provided body mounts, the brake line does not always have the needed clearance to the mount. Contact between the line and the mount can wear through the line over time. Once the line is damaged, brake fluid can leak, and brake performance can drop as the system loses pressure.
Drivers can notice fluid on the ground before braking changes feel serious. A lower fluid level, visible wetness near the brake line area, or a brake pedal that feels different should be treated as a warning sign.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific van is included.
What's the safety risk?
A brake fluid leak can cause brake failure and increase the risk of a crash. Watch for fluid on the ground before braking performance drops. If you see a leak or the pedal changes, stop using the van and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2019 Chevrolet Express Cutaway Van or GMC Savana Cutaway Van is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer to schedule the free brake-line inspection and replacement if needed, which fixes the body-mount clearance problem that can damage the brake line and cause a brake fluid leak.
- Bring the recall notice if Chevrolet mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V702 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and stop driving if you see brake fluid or notice reduced braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Chevrolet technician inspects the brake line near the GM-provided body mounts and replaces the brake line if clearance damage is found. Parts and labor are free under recall 24V702. GM's standard reimbursement plan covers owners who already paid for this same brake line repair before the recall notice. Keep any repair invoice, payment record, and vehicle paperwork together, then contact Chevrolet customer service or the dealer service desk to start the reimbursement review.
