Brake recall is not listed on site for impala 2006 ss.. I had a problem with my brakes which the recall corrected the problem. The upgrade is not completed car is harder to stop. GM and ted evens (cs department) from the chevy did not think of it has a big problem. However I can tell you my car will stop much better now.
