Reported Jun 20, 2024 · Campaign 24V459000 · Model years: 2023, 2024, 2025
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac XT5 and XT6 vehicles. On these cars, the instrument panel may not light up when the hazard warning lights, the high beams, or the turn signals are switched on, so the usual reminder on the dash is missing. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet two federal safety rules, one covering controls and displays and one covering lamps and reflectors. Dealers will update the instrument panel software.
Reported May 2, 2024 · Campaign 24V311000 · Model years: 2024
General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Cadillac XT5 vehicles because the driver's front air bag cushion may tear while the air bag is deploying. If the cushion tears, the air bag may not deploy the way it is designed to. An air bag that fails to deploy properly cannot provide the protection it is meant to give the driver during a crash.
Reported Oct 12, 2023 · Campaign 23V681000 · Model years: 2024
This recall affects certain GMC Acadia and Cadillac XT5 and XT6 vehicles. Some windshields may have been installed without the correct sealant needed to bond the glass to the vehicle's body. Without that seal, the windshield may not be properly attached, and it could come loose from the vehicle.
Reported Mar 16, 2023 · Campaign 23V172000 · Model years: 2022, 2023
Certain Cadillac XT5, XT6, Chevrolet Blazer, Traverse and GMC Acadia SUVs may have been built with an incorrect transmission part called a sun gear. This can cause the half-shaft on the driver's side to come loose from the transmission.
Reported Feb 2, 2023 · Campaign 23V043000 · Model years: 2023
On affected vehicles, the right-front half-shaft — part of what sends power from the engine to the wheel — may not be properly connected to the transmission. This can cause the half-shaft to separate. If that happens, the vehicle can lose the power that drives it forward, or the vehicle could roll away on its own after being put in park.
On vehicles with the optional Surround Vision feature, the coaxial cable connectors for the rearview camera may have been crimped incorrectly. This can cause the rearview camera to stop working or work only some of the time.
General Motors is recalling certain 2023 Cadillac XT5 and XT6 and GMC Acadia vehicles. The certification label on the driver's side B-pillar, the post between the front and rear doors, may have tire size information on it that cannot be read. Because of that, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule that covers how tires and rims are chosen for a vehicle. Dealers will put on a new certification label.
Reported Jun 23, 2022 · Campaign 22V446000 · Model years: 2022
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac XT5, XT6, and GMC Acadia All-Wheel Drive vehicles. A valve inside the fuel tank, meant to seal the tank shut if the vehicle rolls over, may not seal properly. If that valve fails to seal during a rollover crash, fuel can leak out of the tank. A fuel leak like this raises the chance of a fire starting after the crash.
Reported Jun 16, 2022 · Campaign 22V427000 · Model years: 2022
On some of these vehicles, a part called the toe link connects to the left-rear suspension and helps keep the rear wheel aligned. That toe link may not have been tightened properly when the vehicle was built. If it stays loose, the toe link could become loose or come apart from the suspension instead of staying securely attached the way it should be.
Reported Jun 3, 2021 · Campaign 21V422000 · Model years: 2021
On these vehicles, the fuel supply lines may not have been properly attached, and they may not be fully seated where they connect. Because the lines are not secured the way they should be, they can gradually work themselves loose or come apart entirely. When a fuel line separates like this, gasoline is able to leak out of the fuel system. A leak of this kind raises the chance that a fire could start.
Reported Feb 25, 2021 · Campaign 21V115000 · Model years: 2020
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.
Reported Nov 5, 2020 · Campaign 20V684000 · Model years: 2020
This recall covers certain Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT5, GMC Acadia, and Chevrolet Traverse vehicles, along with certain Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. These vehicles may have been built with Continental tires that were overcured during manufacturing.
Reported Oct 15, 2020 · Campaign 20V639000 · Model years: 2020
In some of these vehicles, a leftover piece of plastic from manufacturing may be stuck in the fuel pump's nozzle. This can block the nozzle and keep enough fuel from reaching the engine. When that happens, the engine may not get the fuel it needs to keep running. GM will have dealers replace the fuel pump module to fix the problem, at no cost to owners.
On affected vehicles, a part called the diffuser, inside the roof-rail air bag inflator, may not have been properly attached to the inflator. This means the diffuser could come apart from the inflator when the air bag deploys.
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.
NHTSA lists 14 safety recalls covering the 2020–2025 Cadillac XT5. 12 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Cadillac XT5 and XT6 dashboard reminder lights may not work" (NHTSA campaign 24V459000), reported Jun 20, 2024.
Which Cadillac XT5 model year has the most recalls?
The 2020 Cadillac XT5 has the most, with 5 recalls. The 2025 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.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Cadillac XT5?
No. None of the 14 Cadillac XT5 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Cadillac XT5 has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Cadillac dealer, including for second owners.
