The company said the recall covered four models: the Barina, Viva, Epica and Captiva — which were all built in Korea between 2007 and 2010.
 
The recall notice said a condition had been identified where, in some instances, the cars may experience a reduced brake performance or spongy or low brake pedal.
 
The condition was associated with a sticky valve in the electronic brake control module (EBCM).
 
Holden said owners would be contacted to arrange a free inspection, brake fluid flush and a replacement EBCM if necessary.
 
The company said the problem had been identified in Korea and it was not aware of any instances of the condition occurring in Australia.
