15V164000
VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
The Slide or Tilt roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed and the roof panel may auto-close unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a pinch injury.
14V247000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM
If the hydraulic boost assist is disabled, slowing or stopping the vehicle will require additional brake pedal effort and a lengthened stopping distance. Both of these effects increase the risk of a crash.
14V240000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
If a brake pad detaches from caliper, there may be a sudden reduction in braking, lengthening the distance required to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
14V092000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
13V567000
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
The inability to turn on the windshield defroster may decrease the driver's visibility thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBUs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
