Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

General Motors is recalling approximately 2,890 model year 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV all-wheel drive electric vehicles. These vehicles have incorrect brake module software that can cause the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to fail to apply the brakes when expected. Dealers will provide a free software calibration update to correct the brake system control module.

Risk

If the adaptive cruise control fails to automatically engage the brakes when following traffic, the vehicle may not slow down as intended, significantly increasing the risk of a high-speed collision. No injuries or incidents were specifically mentioned, but the software defect directly impacts critical safety braking functions.
