History Behind the Recall
General Motors has announced a safety recall for 1,191 vehicles from its 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV lineups due to a problem with the electronic stability control (ESC) warning system.
Filed under NHTSA Campaign Number 25V594000, the recall notes that following an ESC system malfunction, the warning light may fail to illuminate during the next ignition cycle. This means drivers could be unaware of a stability control issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The defect also causes affected models to violate Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126, which governs ESC systems and their required warning functions.
Which Vehicles Are Affected?
- 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV
- 2026 GMC Sierra EV
These two all-electric pickup trucks are among GM’s newest models, representing the brand’s move toward an electric future. Despite being technologically advanced, this early production defect shows that even EVs aren’t immune to traditional compliance issues.
What Owners Need to Do Next
GM will update the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) software either over-the-air (OTA) or at dealerships free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on October 27, 2025.
Owners can contact:
- Chevrolet Customer Service: 1-800-222-1020
