Some 2019 Cadillac XTS cars left the factory with a front seat belt that is missing a small metal rivet. That rivet is what holds the buckle — the part you click the belt into — onto the strap that anchors it to the car. Without it, the buckle can come apart in a crash, so the belt would not hold the person in the seat the way it should. A dealer will look at both front buckles and swap out any that are missing the rivet.
The pistons inside the rear brake calipers, the parts that squeeze the brake pads against the wheels, were not coated properly. That can let gas pockets form in the brake system at the rear wheels. Gas squashes when you press the pedal instead of pushing firmly on the pads, so the rear brakes do less of the work and the vehicle can take longer to stop than you expect. The dealer bleeds the brake system to clear the gas out.
