General Motors is recalling approximately 7,606 model year 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles because the pedestrian alert sound system may have incorrect software. This defect causes the vehicle to produce sound at an insufficient volume when driving at low speeds, which fails to meet federal safety standards for electric vehicles. Dealers will provide a free software update for the Body Control Module (BCM) to correct the issue.
If the vehicle does not produce loud enough warning sounds, nearby pedestrians may be unaware that the electric vehicle is approaching, significantly increasing the risk of a collision or injury. This is a specific hazard for quiet-running hybrid and electric vehicles regulated under FMVSS 141.
Software update for the Body Control Module (BCM).
