Key facts

- A software fault can cause brakes to briefly lose function, the company's recall describes.
- Affected owners can receive a free software update over the air or through a dealer.
General Motors has recalled more than 67,000 Cadillac and Chevrolet electric vehicles because of a fault in their brake software. The problem can cause the brakes to lose function for a short time. The recall covers certain Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac models.
The fault shows up at low speed. Owners will not have to pay for the fix. It is delivered as a software update, which can be installed over the air or at a dealership. It is not yet known how many of the affected vehicles are already on the road or whether any crashes or injuries have been linked to the fault.
Many modern cars run key safety systems on software, so a bug in code can affect how a brake responds. Because the repair is a software update rather than a part replacement, owners may not need to visit a workshop for a physical repair. Owners who want to check whether their vehicle is included should contact a Chevrolet or Cadillac dealer.
