General Motors is recalling 21,469 electric SUVs in the U.S. due to concerns about the unexpected activation of the anti-lock brake system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Tuesday.

The recall affects GM's 2023-2024 Cadillac Lyriq all-wheel drive models, rear-wheel drive models remain unaffected. According to NHTSA documents, in rare circumstances, during certain braking events on dry surfaces at speeds below 25 mph, the vehicle may exhibit overly sensitive anti-lock braking system (ABS) control. In these conditions, if ABS falsely activates and a specific sequence of wheel movements occurs, the vehicle’s ABS system will continue to release the braking pressure in the vehicle’s service brake system, reducing stopping power which could result in a crash.

The issue, which will be addressed through an over-the-air software update, follows a preliminary evaluation by the NHTSA in April into more than 3,000 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles over claims related to a loss of brake assist. Anti-lock brake systems are crucial for preventing wheels from locking during braking, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

If it wasn't for horrible reliability issues, I would consider owning or leasing one.

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
