General Motors is recalling 67,380 vehicles due to a software defect that can lead to a temporary loss of braking capability, especially during specific low-speed maneuvers.
The recall, announced on Nov. 4, targets specific models, including the 2023–2027 Cadillac Lyriq, 2025–2026 Cadillac Celestiq, 2024–2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV and 2026-2027 Cadillac Vistiq.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report under campaign number 26V717, the defect is linked to the brake system control module, which may fail during certain driving conditions, causing a brief loss of braking.
The GM recall states that the problem occurs during light braking at low speeds, particularly when the vehicle encounters a bump or dip mid-turn.
“A momentary release and reapplication of the brakes” can mislead the software’s slip calculation, leading to a temporary drop in brake pressure, the recall says.
GM to offer free software update, including OTA options
To address the issue, General Motors is offering a free software update. Owners who have opted for over-the-air (OTA) updates will receive the fix automatically, while others will need to visit a dealership for the update.
Owners are encouraged to check their vehicle identification numbers on the NHTSA website to determine if their vehicle is affected. Official notifications from GM will be sent out starting Dec. 14.
Cadillac customer service can be contacted at 1-800-333-4223 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM’s number for this recall is N262570900.
