General Motors is recalling 81,177 of its 2025-2026 Equinox EV vehicles because the pedestrian alert sound system may not produce a loud enough sound when the vehicle transitions from being stopped to moving at low speeds. This failure means the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 141 regarding minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles. Dealers will update the body control module software free of charge, and this fix may also be delivered via an over-the-air (OTA) update.
If the vehicle does not emit a sufficient warning sound, pedestrians may be unaware of a moving vehicle in their vicinity, which increases the likelihood of a crash or injury.
Body control module software update.
