GMC Acadia and Cadillac XT5, XT6 Windshield Bonding Problem high

Reported 2023-10-12 · Campaign 23V681000 · Model years: 2023

Windshields are glued to the body with a strong sealant that helps hold the glass in place during a crash. On some of these vehicles the windshield was installed without the proper sealant, so it may not be properly bonded. In a crash the windshield could come loose or detach, and people inside could be hurt worse. The dealer inspects the windshield, applies primer and sealant, and replaces the glass if it is damaged, all free of charge.

GM SUVs may lose power from faulty transmission gear high

Reported 2023-03-16 · Campaign 23V172000 · Model years: 2023

The transmission in these Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC SUVs may have been built with the wrong gear inside. Because of that, the axle shaft on the driver's side can come apart from the transmission. If it does, the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels. It also means the vehicle may roll away after you shift into park, because park no longer holds it in place.

Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia axle shaft can separate high

Reported 2023-02-02 · Campaign 23V043000 · Model years: 2023

The right-front axle shaft that sends engine power to the wheel may not have been attached to the transmission correctly, so it can pull apart. If that happens the vehicle can suddenly lose the ability to move under its own power. Worse, with the shaft separated, shifting into park may not actually hold the vehicle, so it could roll away on its own after you get out. Dealers replace the right-front axle shaft assembly at no charge.

Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia rearview camera fails medium

Reported 2022-09-22 · Campaign 22V709000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

Your vehicle has the optional Surround Vision camera system. The cables that carry the backup camera's picture to your screen were crimped incorrectly when they were built. A bad crimp means the rearview camera can quit working altogether or cut in and out. When the screen goes blank you lose your view of what is directly behind the vehicle while backing up, which raises the chance of hitting something or someone. Dealers will replace the cables free.

Cadillac XT5, XT6, GMC Acadia tire label unreadable low

Reported 2022-09-22 · Campaign 22V708000 · Model years: 2023

On certain 2023 Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia vehicles, the sticker on the post behind the driver's door may be hard to read. That label lists the tire size your vehicle is built for, and federal rules require it to be legible. If a tire shop cannot read it, the wrong size tires could be put on the vehicle, and the wrong tires can make it harder to handle and raise crash risk.

Cadillac XT5, XT6, GMC Acadia fuel tank valve leaks critical

Reported 2022-06-23 · Campaign 22V446000 · Model years: 2022

On certain 2022 Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia all-wheel-drive vehicles, a valve on the fuel tank may not seal properly. That valve is meant to keep gasoline from escaping if the vehicle ever rolls over in a crash. If it is knocked out of place or missing, fuel can leak during a rollover, and spilled gasoline can catch fire. Dealers will inspect the tank and replace the tank shell if the valve is bad.

Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia rear suspension bolt high

Reported 2022-06-16 · Campaign 22V427000 · Model years: 2022

A bolt in the left-rear suspension may not have been tightened correctly at the factory. That bolt holds a part called the toe link, which keeps the rear wheel pointed the right way. If the bolt is loose or missing, the toe link can come apart while you are driving and the rear wheel can shift out of position. A dealer will inspect the left-rear suspension and put in a new fastener if it is loose or missing.

GMC Acadia airbags may not deploy in a crash high

Reported 2021-09-10 · Campaign 21V702000 · Model years: 2022

The computer that decides when to set off the airbags was left in a factory test mode and never switched on before the vehicle left the plant. With that computer not activated, the airbags will not inflate in a crash, so people inside would not get that protection. This means the vehicle does not meet the federal crash protection rules. Both affected vehicles are still on dealer lots and will be sent back to the assembly plant to have the computer turned on.

Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia fuel leak risk critical

Reported 2021-06-03 · Campaign 21V422000 · Model years: 2021

The lines that carry gasoline to the engine may not have been connected and seated properly when the vehicle was built. A line that is not seated can work loose or come apart, letting gasoline leak out. Fuel leaking near a hot engine can catch fire. If you ever smell gasoline or see a puddle under the vehicle, stop driving it and call for help. Dealers will inspect the lines and replace them if needed.

GM SUVs and trucks may have defective Continental tires high

Reported 2021-02-25 · Campaign 21V115000 · Model years: 2019, 2020

Some Continental tires on these vehicles were heated too long when they were made. A tire like that can crack in the sidewall and lose air all at once, or the tread can start peeling away from the tire. Either one can make the vehicle hard to control while you are driving. The dealer will look at your tires and replace any bad ones for free.

GM trucks and SUVs may have faulty Continental tires high

Reported 2020-11-05 · Campaign 20V684000 · Model years: 2020

These Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles may have left the factory with Continental tires that were heated too long while being made. A tire made this way can crack in the sidewall and lose air suddenly, or the tread can start peeling away and come partly or completely off the tire. Either problem can happen while you are driving. Dealers will inspect your tires and replace any that match the specific tire codes Continental identified.

Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac: Transmission Fluid Leak Risk critical

Reported 2020-10-29 · Campaign 20V668000 · Model years: 2019, 2020

Inside the automatic transmission on these Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles is a part tied to the automatic stop/start system. The end cap on that part may be missing bolts. If bolts are missing, transmission fluid can leak out. A bad leak can leave the vehicle unable to move under its own power, which is dangerous if it happens in traffic. Leaking transmission fluid can also catch fire if it lands on something hot. A dealer will inspect the part and replace it if bolts are missing.

Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, GMC SUVs: fuel pump can stall engine critical

Reported 2020-10-15 · Campaign 20V639000 · Model years: 2020

The fuel pump inside the gas tank pushes fuel to the engine. On these vehicles, a small piece of leftover plastic from the factory can be stuck in the pump's tiny nozzle. That bit can block the opening so the engine does not get enough fuel. If that happens, the engine can quit while you are driving, with no warning first. Dealers replace the whole fuel pump unit.

GM Trucks and SUVs May Have Weak Roof Airbags medium

Reported 2020-07-30 · Campaign 20V446000 · Model years: 2020

The roof-rail airbags run along the edge of the ceiling above the side windows and are meant to protect your head in a side crash or rollover. On these vehicles, a piece that directs gas into the airbag may not have been crimped onto the inflator tightly enough and can come off when the airbag deploys. If that happens, the airbag may not protect you as well in a crash. Dealers replace the affected airbag units at no cost.

Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac fuel pump leak fire risk critical

Reported 2018-05-31 · Campaign 18V358000 · Model years: 2018

The high pressure fuel pump on these vehicles can come loose from the bracket that holds it in place. Once loose, the pump can damage the high pressure fuel line next to it. A damaged line can leak gasoline into the engine compartment, where hot parts can set it on fire. A dealer will replace both the fuel pump and the fuel pipe at no charge to you.

Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Acadia and Terrain driveshaft can break high

Reported 2017-08-22 · Campaign 17V516000 · Model years: 2018

The right front driveshaft, the bar that sends engine power to the right front wheel, can crack and break apart while you are driving. If it does, the vehicle stops pulling itself forward and coasts to a stop, which is dangerous in traffic. If it breaks while the vehicle is parked on a hill without the parking brake set, the vehicle can roll away on its own. Dealers replace the right front driveshaft assembly at no cost.
