Cadillac Escalade IQ, Hummer EV Battery Fire Risk critical

Reported Jul 30, 2026 · Campaign 26V494000 · Model years: 2026

Certain Cadillac Escalade IQ, Escalade IQL and GMC Hummer EV Pickup vehicles may have a problem with the high voltage battery. An internal component inside the battery may not be properly secured in place. If this component becomes loose, it can move around inside the battery and cause damage to it. Damage to the high voltage battery in this way increases the risk of a fire.

General Motors is recalling a wide range of Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC and Buick vehicles, including the Escalade IQ and IQL, OPTIQ, Colorado, Equinox EV, Silverado 3500, Canyon and Sierra 3500.
