Cruise Recalls 950 Vehicles for Automated Driving System Software Defect

Cruise LLC is recalling 950 vehicles because a software defect in the Collision Detection Subsystem may cause the vehicle to move after a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect in the automated driving system that can cause unintended vehicle movement after a crash, increasing the risk of injury or another crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Cruise LLC is recalling 950 vehicles due to a defect in the Automated Driving Systems (ADS) software. Specifically, the Collision Detection Subsystem may improperly cause the vehicle to attempt to move to the side of the road after a crash has occurred.

This defect poses a safety risk because additional vehicle movement can increase the risk of injury or cause another crash. The recall affects a subsystem within the ADS, specifically the software controlling collision detection.

Cruise has deployed an over-the-air (OTA) ADS software update to all supervised test fleet vehicles free of charge. All affected driverless fleet vehicles will also be repaired prior to returning to service. Owners may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
