First Sonic Recall Notice: Missing Brake Pads

There are more than a couple of reports circulating around the web about a pending recall of the all new 2012 Chevy Sonic.  The Wall Street Journal reports a Sonic owner who was having the vehicle serviced was informed of a missing brake pad (1).  This prompted a report with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to be filed (1).  This is the reported reason behind GM recalling Sonic's built between the dates of June 2, 2011 and November 21, 2011, and owners of these Sonic's will be notified by January 14, 2012 for a no charge inspection (1).  It is also important to highlight how Autoweek has reported GM claims the missing brake pads occurred prior to assembly and has no reported injuries from the missing pads (2).
