GM’s Best‑Selling Equinox EV Faces Major Recall

In a blow to General Motors’s EV ambitions, the company has issued a recall for its best‑selling Chevrolet Equinox EV (2025‑26 model years), along with the Cadillac Optiq, affecting around 22,900 vehicles. The root of the problem lies in faulty tire construction — specifically a “non‑conforming tread base rubber compound” used in Continental CrossContact 275/40R‑21 tires produced during the week of October 6, 2024. GM says the defective tires may suffer partial or full tread detachment, which can lead to vibration, bulging, or accelerated tread wear — and potentially a crash risk. Notifications to affected owners begin December 1, and dealers will inspect and replace the tires free of charge. Meanwhile, the recall casts a shadow over GM’s EV growth strategy just as the Equinox EV was gaining traction. � #GMRecall #EquinoxEV #EVSafety #AutoIndustryAlert #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
