Cadillac XTS
Model Overview
Large Cadillac sedans have a reputation for being cushy land yachts, but the XTS is a new breed of full-size luxury car. While it is bred for comfort first and foremost, this comfortable, spacious sedan is also capable of surprisingly satisfying performance thanks to an optional turbo engine and high-tech suspension. The cabin is full of high-tech features, too, as Cadillac continues to shed its reputation as a purveyor of old-school luxury.

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
On certain vehicles, the front seat belt buckles may be missing a rivet that secures the buckle to the cable mounting strap. In a crash, this could cause the seat belt buckle to separate from its mounting point, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant(s). Correction: Dealers will inspect the front driver and passenger seat belt buckle assemblies and will replace them if the rivet is not present.

On certain vehicles, a problem with the rear brake system may cause gas bubbles to form in the brake fluid. This could cause a soft brake pedal feel and a reduction in brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will bleed the rear brakes.

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
On certain vehicles, front seat-mounted side impact airbag modules may contain a defect which, in the event of an airbag deployment, can cause airbag inflator components to separate and be propelled into the interior compartment, possibly striking occupants. It is also possible that the airbag may inflate only partially, or not at all, in the event of a crash. If the airbag components separate and are propelled into the interior compartment during deployment in a crash, or the airbag does not inflate, there may be an increased risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace affected side airbag modules.

Manufacturer Recall Number:

Units Affected:
6,137
Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135 - Brake Systems. The electronic parking brake may not fully release, which could cause the brakes to drag. In this condition, the parking brake indicator also may not illuminate even though the parking brake is engaged, contrary to the requirements of the standard. Brake drag could affect vehicle acceleration and cause undesired deceleration, excessive brake heat, and premature wear to some brake components. If the brake drag is significant or if the vehicle is operated for an extended period of time in this condition, there is a potential for the rear brakes to generate significant heat, smoke and sparks. Correction: Dealers will update the electronic parking brake software.

On certain vehicles, the steering gear to steering column intermediate shaft connection bolts and front lower control arm ball joint bolts may not have been tightened to specification. If these bolts were to loosen, a loss of steering control could result, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the joints and verify fastener torque.

On certain vehicles, a buildup of pressure in the brake booster pump wiring harness could dislodge sealing plugs from an electrical connector and allow contaminates to enter the brake booster pump relay connector. This could result in corrosion and cause a short in the connector, potentially resulting in a fire and increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

On certain vehicles, the brake lamps could flash intermittently without the brake pedal being depressed. This would convey a confusing message to following road users who, in turn, may not react in a timely manner when the driver does apply the brakes. As such, this could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module. Note: This recall supersedes 2013-176.

On certain vehicles, the rear seat headrest mechanisms may not lock in the upright position after the headrests are folded. Failure of the headrests to remain in the upright position could increase the seat occupant’s risk of personal injury during a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear seat headrest assemblies.
