General Motors is recalling the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq due to potential power issues from bad battery connections.
The specific issue is a potential concern with battery connections to the vehicle’s high-voltage battery packs. Per the recall, the connections could be improperly positioned or incorrectly welded. The issue increases the risk of a power loss, which federal authorities consider a safety issue.
GM first noticed the issue on March 22, 2023 when an engineer noticed some anomalies that were not detected during end-of-line testing. GM’s recall is voluntary but in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
So far, GM is aware of only five vehicles with the issue. However, there could be more and thus issuing the recall. GM will be reaching out to owners with a letter postmarked July 10, 2023. However, GM may also reach out through other means such as phone or email. Owners can also contact Cadillac and Hummer customer service with the recall number: N232404441.
Luckily, the fix is quite simple, and GM dealers will replace the high-voltage battery packs on any impacted vehicles free of charge.
