General Motors said it will recall about 293,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact sedans to fix a brake problem.
The automaker said the 2011 and 2012 model year Cruzes can experience an intermittent loss of brake assist in certain engine-transmission configurations of the car.
In some cases, a driver will have to push harder on the brake pedal to stop the car.
There are 27 alleged low-speed crashes but no injuries related to Cruze brake performance, GM said, and some of those incidents could be a result of the brake pressure problem.
The condition is found in vehicles with the combination of the turbocharged 1.4-liter dual overhead cam gasoline engine mated to GM's 6T40 automatic transmission.
