Known issues

Medium

Early 2023 Lyriq builds had software/integration issues that delayed deliveries; some vehicles required dealer reflashes or module replacements before sale (TSB N222379400).

Low

Spring Hill TN cell production ramped slower than planned; some Lyriq builds shipped with cells from the Lordstown OH plant instead, with no documented reliability difference.

Low

Wireless BMS is novel architecture; early Ultium products had software bugs around state-of-charge reporting that GM patched via OTA.

Low

Sister GM Ultium architectures cover the truck dual-tier pack (Hummer EV, Sierra EV, Silverado EV) and the smaller mid-tier pack (Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Honda Prologue, Acura ZDX). See related pack records for those.
