flag GM recalls 81,000 Chevy Equinox EVs for software flaw reducing pedestrian alert sounds below safety standards.

flag General Motors is recalling over 81,000 2025 and 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EVs due to a software issue that prevents the pedestrian alert system from producing sufficient sound at low speeds, failing to meet federal safety standards. flag The defect, caused by incorrect software calibration, reduces alert volume when accelerating from a stop to 6.2 mph, increasing risk to pedestrians. flag The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. flag 141. flag GM discovered the problem in September 2025 and issued the recall on December 11, 2025, with no accidents or injuries reported. flag The fix involves a free software update to the body control module, available at dealerships or via over-the-air update. flag Owners will begin receiving notifications starting February 2, 2026, and can check if their vehicle is affected at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
