General Motors Australia has issued a recall for the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq electric SUVs over a software-related braking problem that could temporarily reduce braking performance at low speeds.
The recall notice said a software issue in the Brake System Control Module (BSCM) could lead to a temporary loss of braking. When the driver presses the brake pedal a second time, normal braking function is restored. That said, the issue could increase the chance of an accident occurring that could result in serious injuries.
A total of 406 vehicles are affected, including 321 Lyriq and 85 Vistiq SUVs built between 2024 and 2026. The figure also includes vehicles that are still in transit to Australia.
While Lyriq deliveries began in Australia in 2025, customer deliveries of the Vistiq are yet to start and are expected later this year or in early 2027.
The issue can be fixed through a software update at Cadillac service centres, with the repair offered free of charge to affected owners.
This recall follows the one announced in the US. A total of 67,380 vehicles have been affected, including the 2023–2027 Cadillac LYRIQ, 2025–2026 Cadillac CELESTIQ, 2024–2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV and 2026–2027 Cadillac VISTIQ.
