GM recalls 67,380 EVs over brake software glitch
General Motors is recalling 67,380 electric vehicles because a software defect in the brake system control module can cause an unexpected loss of braking performance during certain low speed maneuvers. The problem can appear when a vehicle crosses a dip or bump while turning into a driveway or parking space, when a wheel slip calculation misreads the movement and softens brake line pressure, letting the vehicle roll forward. The recall covers the 2023 to 2027 Cadillac Lyriq, 2024 to 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV, 2025 to 2026 Cadillac Celestiq and 2026 to 2027 Cadillac Vistiq under NHTSA campaign 26V717. GM will fix the software through an over the air update or at a dealer at no charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to begin December 14, and the affected VINs became searchable on October 29.
