Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq recalled for braking software fault
Cadillac electric SUVs are being recalled in Australia and New Zealand due to a software glitch causing brief braking loss.
The Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq are being recalled for a fault in the Brake System Control Module software. At low speeds during sharp turns on uneven ground, the software may misread wheel movement and cause a brief loss of braking that can happen at a driveway entrance.
Normal braking returns when the pedal is pressed again. General Motors says there have been no reported incidents in Australia and New Zealand so far.
The fault was recalled in the US in October. The fix is a free software update available at Cadillac service centres; owners need to book an appointment.
Lyriq deliveries began in Australia in 2025, while Vistiq deliveries are expected to start later this year or early 2027.
