General Motors is recalling 67,380 electric vehicles because a software defect can temporarily reduce braking. The recall affects certain performance all-wheel-drive models, including the 2023-2027 Cadillac Lyriq and 2024-2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV, as well as the upcoming Cadillac Celestiq and Vistiq.
The glitch is in the brake system control module. At low speeds, the system may misread wheel movement when a driver lightly brakes during a sharp turn over a bump, and the vehicle may not slow down as expected.
GM is aware of 24 related field complaints. Those complaints include 20 minor accidents. Two complaints allege minor injuries.
GM will provide a free software update, available over the air or through a dealer. The company plans to mail notification letters to affected owners on December 14, 2026.
