3 recalls covering model years 2025, 2027. 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.
On some Cadillac Optiq vehicles, the front power windows may not sense when something is in the way when they are closed using the key fob's express-up function. Instead of detecting the obstruction and reversing direction, the window can keep closing, which could pinch a passenger before it retracts. Because the windows don't reverse as expected in this situation, these vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard for power windows.
General Motors is recalling a wide range of Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC and Buick vehicles, including the Escalade IQ and IQL, OPTIQ, Colorado, Equinox EV, Silverado 3500, Canyon and Sierra 3500. During production, the radio may not have been set to the correct status to download the electronic owner's manual, so the manual is not there for the owner to use. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering occupant protection.
General Motors is recalling certain 2025-2026 Cadillac Optiq and 2025-2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles that are equipped with 21-inch Continental all-season tires. On some of these vehicles, part of the tire's tread, or the entire tread, may separate from the tire while the vehicle is being driven. This is known as tread detachment and can affect one or more of the vehicle's tires.
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

NHTSA lists 3 safety recalls covering the 2025–2027 Cadillac Optiq. 1 of them is rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Cadillac Optiq Power Windows May Pinch Passengers" (NHTSA campaign 26V612000), reported Sep 24, 2026.
The 2025 Cadillac Optiq has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2027 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. 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 3 Cadillac Optiq recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
