DETROIT — General Motors Co. is recalling more than 4,000 of its 2012 Chevrolet Sonic subcompact cars to check for missing brake pads.
Some Sonics could be missing an inner or outer brake pad, which could increase stopping distance. GM said there are no known crashes or injuries related to the issue.
The recall involves 4,296 of GM's 2012 Sonics sold in the U.S. Affected models are from the Orion Township, Mich., assembly plant, which makes Sonics for the U.S. and Canadian markets.
Dealers will inspect front brakes on Sonics for missing inner or outer pads and install new pads, if necessary. Customers affected by the recall will receive dealer letters beginning Jan. 14.

I wish this article was more in depth? I'm curious as to how the cars went down the line missing brake components?
If GM spot checks thier vehicle quality then that creates the oppertunity for shennigans, if they have a check list every vehicle has to comply with then it might seem somebody is placing productivty over quality.
And what about when the car arrives at the dealer? I would think that a lack of brake components would be immediately obvious when you backed the car off of the transporter.
Or are the pads delaminating during use?
