GM Recalls 656 2014 Cadillac ELR Plug-In Hybrids

General Motors is recalling its 2014 Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid coupes due to issues with electronic stability control systems, which could malfunction.

Approximately 656 vehicles are affected by the recall, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The vehicles are not equipped with adaptive cruise control.

"In these vehicles, the electronic stability control or ESC system software may inhibit certain ESC diagnostics, preventing the system from alerting the driver that the ESC system is partially or fully disabled," said the NHTSA in its summary.

GM issued a stop-delivery order to its dealers on March 19.

No crashes or injuries have been linked to the recall, according GM spokesman Alan Adler, according to Edmunds.

The issue was found during plant testing, according to GM.

"No connection to Chevy Volt, which uses a different electronic brake control module," Adler said.

Affected vehicles were built from September 26, 2013 through February 14, 2014, according to NHTSA.

The automaker is instructing its dealers to recalibrate the electronic brake control module.

GM said the recall will start on April 17.

"If the driver is not alerted to an ESC malfunction, they may continue driving with a disabled ESC system which may result in loss of directional control, increasing the risk of a crash," said the NHTSA.
