6 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The 10-speed transmission in these vehicles may become damaged internally, and that damage can cause the wheels to lock up while driving. A wheel locking up while driving increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will install new monitoring software in the transmission's computer to address the problem, free of charge.
This recall affects certain 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Cadillac CT6, and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. A software error in a brake computer may cause the vehicle's stability control and antilock brake systems to shut off. If this happens, the warning lights on the dashboard that are supposed to alert the driver won't turn on, so the driver may not know these safety systems have stopped working.
On vehicles fitted with certain dealer-installed 20-inch wheels, the tire pressure monitoring sensors use the wrong wireless frequency. Because of this, the system cannot turn on the low tire pressure warning light when tire pressure drops below the recommended level.
On some Cadillac CT6 vehicles, turning the steering wheel will not automatically cancel the turn signal after a turn. The driver may not notice that the signal is still flashing and may not turn it off manually.
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac CT6, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Volt, and GMC Yukon XL vehicles. On some of these vehicles, the retractor for a second-row or third-row seat belt may not automatically lock when the belt is pulled all the way out. Because this locking feature is what holds a child seat in place, a child seat installed using that belt may not be properly secured.
Some 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6 vehicles were built with extra adhesive on the rear inboard child seat anchor bars. This buildup can get in the way when someone tries to attach a child safety seat to those bars, making correct installation difficult. If the child seat cannot be attached the right way to the anchor bar, it may not hold the seat securely.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2019 Cadillac CT6 has the most, with 4 recalls. The 2018 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 2. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 6 Cadillac CT6 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
