General Motors is recalling approximately 23,700 of its 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles because the pedestrian warning system may not function as intended. Specifically, the alert sound might not increase in volume as the vehicle moves from a stop to low speeds, failing to meet federal safety standards for electric vehicles. To fix this, dealers will update the vehicle's body control module software for free, or the update may be completed automatically through an over-the-air software update.
If the vehicle fails to produce a loud enough sound while moving, pedestrians and other road users may not be aware that the vehicle is approaching. This lack of awareness increases the risk of a collision and potential injury to pedestrians.
