Dealing with a car recall is never fun. This is true for both the automaker and buyers. However, this process has gotten easier for all parties involved in many ways. According to Reuters, Chevrolet has a new one for the 2025 Equinox EV. This problem is related to the SUV’s adaptive cruise control and it impacts about 2,890 units.
Specifically, they are issuing the car recall because the adaptive cruise control systems in these SUVs could fail. If this happens, it could fail to engage the brakes, which would increase the likelihood of a crash. Like many modern car problems, it stems from incorrect software. Notably, it’s the brake module that has the wrong software. Because of this, owners should be careful when using the cruise control on these vehicles as it may require intervention to come to a stop.
So, what’s the fix for this car recall impacting the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV? Basically, auto mechanics at the dealership will install an update for the software calibration related to the braking system. Naturally, they will do this for free, and it should be a much simpler process than if there were an actual mechanical issue.
