General Motors is recalling 67,380 electric SUVs from Cadillac and Chevrolet because software in the brake control module can cause a loss of braking in certain driving conditions, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall record, campaign 26V717000. The fix is a free software update, delivered over the air or by a dealer.
GM filed the recall on Oct. 29. Owners should get letters around Dec. 14.
Which models are included
| Brand | Model | Model years |
|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet | Blazer EV | 2024 to 2027 |
| Cadillac | Lyriq | 2023 to 2027 |
| Cadillac | Vistiq | 2026 and 2027 |
| Cadillac | Celestiq | 2025 and 2026 |
NHTSA's record does not break the 67,380 total down by model. The recall covers "certain" vehicles from those years, so the vehicle identification number is the way to check. VINs have been searchable on NHTSA's recall lookup since Oct. 29, and GM runs its own recall lookup for Chevrolet and Cadillac owners. If a lookup comes back empty, Edit USA's guide explains why a VIN search can miss a new recall.
NHTSA's summary says "a loss of braking ability increases the risk of a crash." The agency has not told owners to stop driving the vehicles or to park them outside, two warnings it attaches to the most serious recalls.
What owners should do
The repair updates the brake system control module software. GM can push it over the air, or a dealer can install it, at no charge. GM's internal number for the recall is N262570900, which helps when calling a dealer.
Cadillac owners can call Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223, and Chevrolet owners can call Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
Some Blazer EVs have been recalled before for brake problems of a different kind. A 2025 recall, 25V433000, covered rear parking brake wiring that could be damaged or corroded and set the parking brake on its own. That recall was repeated in January for vehicles that may have been repaired incorrectly.
