SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

The defect
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV all-wheel drive electric vehicles. The adaptive cruise control may fail to engage the brakes as expected, due to incorrect brake module software.
What it can cause
A vehicle that does not automatically brake as expected increases the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will update the software calibration in the brake system control module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 13, 2025. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N242481530.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 2,890 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 50 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V702000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 161 complaints with NHTSA, 12 of them before this campaign was filed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V114000 (equipment), 25V878000 (back over prevention), 25V704000 (tires), 24V925000 (electrical system).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.

Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on January 16, 2025 as campaign 25V012000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
