So yeah, we&#8217;re not gonna write about every recall. But some are most definitely worth alerting drivers as best we can.<\/p>\n<p>You know, like a recall where you may lose the ability to brake.<\/p>\n<p>General Motors has announced a recall for 67,380 Chevrolet Blazer EVs, Cadillac Lyriqs, Vistiqs, and Celestiqs. All the iqs are here. Here is the breakdown, if you want to see whether you are at risk of being unable to stop your car.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2023 \u2013 2027 Cadillac Lyriq<\/li>\n<li>2025 \u2013 2026 Cadillac Celstiq<\/li>\n<li>2026 \u2013 2027 Cadillac Vistiq<\/li>\n<li>2024 \u2013 2027 Chevy Blazer EV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Wait, why can&#8217;t you stop your car?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.nhtsa.gov\/odi\/rcl\/2026\/RCLRPT-26V717-3733.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a> (NHTSA) report, General Motors ran tests that found a very specific moment when you may suddenly lose brake function. First, you&#8217;ll need a vehicle with performance all-wheel drive. Then, you&#8217;ll need to start lightly applying your brakes while taking a sharp turn at a low speed. While turning, you&#8217;ll need to run over a bump or depression in the road.<\/p>\n<p>This sounds very specific and as if it&#8217;ll never happen, but NHTSA even brought up that it could be something like turning at the end of a driveway.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, in this case, releasing and then reapplying the brakes could trigger the vehicle&#8217;s software to misinterpret your wheel movement, sometimes leading to a &#8220;temporary loss of braking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really not as random as you&#8217;d think. General Motors recalled 21,469 all-wheel-drive Lyriqs for essentially the same issue back in 2024. At that time, those recalled vehicles were given software updates. However, GM found that the vehicles with updated software can still fall victim to the super specific triggering in the more recent recall. So, they&#8217;ll need to get the latest software update, which corrects the slip calculation in the brake system control module.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hope the update works this time.<\/p>\n<p>So far, GM has received 24 complaints regarding this issue. Twenty of those complaints involved minor accidents. Two involved minor injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If we had to cover every vehicle recall, I think that&#8217;d basically be my whole job.
