What’s the Problem with the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV?
Transport Canada has identified a software flaw in certain 2025 Chevrolet Equinox Electric Vehicles. Specifically, the issue affects the vehicle’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system. When the ACC is activated, the vehicle may fail to slow down or stop when the system detects a need to apply brakes. This could significantly increase the risk of a crash, especially if the driver relies on the ACC to control the vehicle’s speed and braking.
Which Models Are Affected by the Recall?
The recall applies only to specific 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV models, namely those that are all-wheel drive (AWD) and do not feature the Super Cruise system. If your Equinox EV does not include Super Cruise, it may be impacted by this recall.
What You Need to Do If You Own a Affected Vehicle
If your 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is part of this recall, General Motors advises you to manually apply the brakes to slow down or stop the vehicle when using the ACC. It’s crucial to stay alert and prepared to take action in case the system doesn’t function as expected.
Transport Canada states that General Motors will notify affected vehicle owners via mail. The letter will direct you to take your vehicle to an authorized dealership, where they will update the brake system control module software to fix the issue.
How to Check If Your Vehicle Is Affected
You can easily check if your vehicle is part of the recall by visiting General Motors’ official website. There, you can enter your vehicle’s information to confirm whether the recall applies to your specific Equinox EV.
