Chevrolet is recalling 2026 Silverado EVs with potential ESC warning light failure, risking undetected stability control issues. Owners must update software via dealer or OTA to prevent crashes.
An indicator light that does not illuminate may fail to warn the driver of an ESC system issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chevrolet is recalling 2026 Silverado EVs because a warning light might not show if the electronic stability control system fails, which could lead to crashes. This affects vehicles sold in the U.S. after October 15, 2025.
The electronic stability control (ESC) warning light might not turn on after starting the vehicle, meaning drivers won't know if the ESC system is malfunctioning. This could cause loss of vehicle control during sudden maneuvers, increasing crash risk.
Owners of 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EVs in the U.S. are affected. Drivers using these vehicles without the software update may face undetected stability control issues.
