2 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019. 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.
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac XTS vehicles because the front seat belt buckles may be missing a rivet that secures the buckle head to the cable mounting strap. Without that rivet, the buckle could separate from the strap in a crash, so the seat belt would not properly hold the occupant in place. Dealers will inspect the front seat buckle assemblies and replace them if the rivet is missing.
The rear brake caliper pistons on these vehicles may not have enough of a protective coating, which can allow gas pockets to form inside them. If this happens, it can reduce how well the rear brakes perform. This affects a range of Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models. To fix the problem, GM will notify owners, and dealers will bleed the vehicle's brake system. This repair is free of charge.
