GM also is recalling over 177,000 Chevrolet Malibu sedans from the 2018 model year in the U.S. because the fuel injectors can fail.



The cars have 1.5-Liter turbocharged engines. GM says in documents posted Wednesday on the NHTSA website that a software error can corrupt data used by the engine control computer. That can cause the computer to send a signal disabling the fuel injectors. Engines may not start, or in rare cases, could stall without warning.

The recall sleeper refers to is for the vacuum pump. Evidently the performance deteriorates over time and the fix is a new calibration (updated EBCM software) to account for it.
They seem to have learned a lesson from the HHR SS vacuum problem and have been using electric pumps on the larger vehicles.
