GM filed this with NHTSA as an over-the-air update dated Oct 28, 2026, received Oct 31, 2026 — 3 documents under this number: Infotainment 2026.4 (3 filings). It names 11 model years across Chevrolet, GMC and Buick (2024–2026). An over-the-air update is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is GM INFOTAINMENT 2026.4 a recall?
No. A over-the-air update is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the INFOTAINMENT 2026.4 repair free?
A over-the-air update is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does INFOTAINMENT 2026.4 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 11 model years across 3 brands (Chevrolet, GMC and Buick): 2025 Buick Envision, 2026 Chevrolet Colorado, 2025 Chevrolet Colorado, 2024 Chevrolet Colorado, 2026 Chevrolet Equinox, 2025 Chevrolet Equinox and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
