General Motors is recalling 67,380 Cadillac and Chevrolet electric vehicles after finding that a software fault could cause a temporary loss of braking under certain driving conditions. The issue affects vehicles with the pAWD system and involves the brake system control module (BSCM).
The fault can occur when a driver lightly applies the brakes during a sharp turn and the vehicle hits a bump. In those circumstances, the software may misinterpret wheel movement while calculating slip, potentially interrupting braking temporarily.
The recall covers certain 2023–2027 Cadillac Lyriq, 2025–2026 Cadillac Celestiq, 2026–2027 Cadillac Vistiq, and 2024–2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV vehicles. GM said it reproduced the issue during internal testing after a report was submitted to its Speak Up for Safety program on April 10, 2026. The investigation followed a low-speed crash involving a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq that struck a garage.
Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report 24 field complaints related to the problem. Twenty involved minor accidents, while two included allegations of minor injuries. The complaints were received between February 24, 2024, and June 11, 2026. GM said it has introduced software corrections in production over the past few months.
The company will update the BSCM software free of charge, either through an over-the-air update or at a dealership. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 14, 2026. GM’s recall number is N262570900, and the NHTSA campaign number is 26V717.
