Investing.com -- General Motors (NYSE:GM) is recalling 23,700 vehicles due to an issue with the pedestrian alert sound system in certain 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV models.

According to a recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the sound system in these electric vehicles may not produce a sufficient change in volume when transitioning from a stopped position to moving at low speeds.

This defect means the vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 141, which establishes "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."

The insufficient sound change could prevent pedestrians from being aware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

The recall specifically covers 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles.
