Cadillac XT4 and Malibu Wrong Owner's Manual low
General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Cadillac XT4 and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles that may have the wrong owner's manual in the glove box. Because the manual doesn't match the vehicle, it can contain inaccurate information about how the vehicle's functions work and other safety-related details. Having incorrect information available to the driver could lead to the vehicle being operated the wrong way.
Cadillac XT4 rearview camera image may go blank medium
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac XT4 SUVs that have the optional Surround Vision feature. The video processing module may lose its connection with the rearview camera, and the camera image is then lost. Dealers will update the module's software, or replace the module if needed.
GM Vehicles: Driver's Seat Weld May Fail high
General Motors is recalling certain 2021 Chevrolet Malibu and 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, Blazer, and Cadillac XT4 vehicles. The driver's seat cushion frame may have a weld that was not done correctly. This faulty weld is located in the power tilt-adjustment mechanism, which is the part that lets the driver's seat tilt up and down. The improper weld affects the frame that supports the driver's seat cushion.
Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac XT4 Loose Seat Belt high
On these Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac XT4 vehicles, the rear seat belt retractors may be improperly secured with loose or missing fasteners.
GM Vehicles Recalled for Over-Cured Tire Failure Risk critical
The tires on these vehicles were left in the curing process for too long during manufacturing. Tires that are cured too long can develop a break in the sidewall, which can cause sudden air loss, or the tire's belt edge can separate, causing the tread or belt to come apart. Either problem can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
GM transmission bolts missing, leak and fire risk critical
On certain GM vehicles, the endcap on the start/stop transmission accumulator may be missing bolts. This can let transmission fluid leak out. Over time, the leak can get bad enough that the vehicle loses the ability to move forward. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with something that can ignite it, it could catch fire.
Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick Models Lose Brake Assist high
Contamination at a sensor connection in the electronic brake boost system may interrupt communication between the sensor and the brake booster. This affects certain Chevrolet Corvette and Trailblazer, Cadillac CT4, CT5 and XT4, and Buick Encore GX vehicles. If that happens, the power assist that helps you brake could be lost, meaning you would need much more pedal force to slow or stop the vehicle. Dealers will replace the electronic brake boost module, free of charge.
