Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq recalled

General Motors Australia and New Zealand (GM ANZ) is recalling the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq electric SUVs for a low-speed braking issue.

"Due to a software issue in the Brake System Control Module (BSCM), a temporary loss of braking may occur at low speeds," the company says in its recall notice.

"Normal braking function is restored when the brake pedal is pressed again.

"A temporary loss of braking performance could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users."

GM ANZ says there have been no local reports of this issue. The local recall follows one issued in the US in October.

"When the brakes are lightly applied at low speeds during a sharp turn and the vehicle encounters a bump or depression – such as at the end of a driveway – a momentary release and reapplication of the brakes may cause the software’s slip calculation to misinterpret wheel movement," reads a safety recall report published by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"In some instances, this may result in a temporary loss of braking."

Cadillac Australia hasn't yet commenced customer deliveries of the Vistiq, but it's expected to do so later this year or early in the first quarter of 2027. Deliveries of the Lyriq commenced in 2025.

• A total of 321 Lyriq and 85 Vistiq SUVs are affected, produced between 2024 and 2026, with this tally including vehicles still in transit to Australia
• The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list is attached here

The issue can be fixed via a software update available through Cadillac service centres, free of charge.
