Reported Feb 26, 2026 · Campaign 26V114000 · Model years: 2025
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. During production, the radio may not have been set to the correct status to download the electronic owner's manual, so the manual is not there for the owner to use. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering occupant protection.

These electric Equinox vehicles are supposed to make a sound that gets noticeably louder when the vehicle starts moving from a stop, so pedestrians can tell it's no longer parked. In some vehicles, the sound doesn't change enough in volume between being stopped and moving at low speed, so it doesn't meet the federal safety standard for the noise electric and hybrid vehicles must make.
Reported Oct 16, 2025 · Campaign 25V704000 · Model years: 2025
General Motors is recalling certain 2025-2026 Cadillac Optiq and 2025-2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles that are equipped with 21-inch Continental all-season tires. On some of these vehicles, part of the tire's tread, or the entire tread, may separate from the tire while the vehicle is being driven. This is known as tread detachment and can affect one or more of the vehicle's tires.
General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles because the pedestrian alert sound system may not produce enough of a change in volume between when the vehicle is stopped and when it is moving at low speeds. This sound is meant to let people outside the vehicle know it is there. Because the volume does not change enough, the vehicle does not meet the federal minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Reported Jan 16, 2025 · Campaign 25V012000 · Model years: 2025
On certain 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV all-wheel drive electric vehicles, the adaptive cruise control system may not apply the brakes the way it is supposed to when needed. This happens because of incorrect software installed in the module that controls the vehicle's brake system. As a result, the brakes may not engage automatically as the driver expects when the adaptive cruise control feature is being used.
Reported Dec 12, 2024 · Campaign 24V925000 · Model years: 2025
On some 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles, the software that controls the pedestrian alert sound system may be incorrect, and the vehicle may not produce the alert sound at a loud enough volume. This system is meant to make noise so that people walking nearby can hear the vehicle approaching. Dealers will update the body control module software to fix the issue, free of charge.
Reported Oct 2, 2024 · Campaign 24V737000 · Model years: 2025
The door strikers on your vehicle were not properly heat-treated, which can cause them to break. If a door striker breaks, the door it's attached to can open unexpectedly, which increases the risk of injury to anyone inside. All affected vehicles are still at dealerships, so no owner notification letters are being mailed. Dealers will replace all four side door strikers and their attachment bolts, free of charge.

Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
