Cadillac Seat Recalls Address Frames, Child Anchors, and Head Restraints
These Cadillac seat notices address three distinct restraint concerns rather than one repeating component failure. The 2022 XT4 recall concerns an improper weld in the driver's seat cushion frame power tilt-adjustment mechanism, which may reduce driver restraint in a crash. The 2016-2018 CT6 recall concerns excess structural adhesive on inboard child seat anchorage bars that can interfere with child seat installation. The 2025 Lyriq recall concerns inaccurate owner's manual illustrations and descriptions of rear outboard head restraints. The recurring theme is occupant protection through seat structure, child restraint attachment, or correct head restraint adjustment. The CT6 notice spans the most model years; XT4 and Lyriq each appear for one model year.
Warning signs to watch for
- 2018-06-28 Cadillac CT6 Child Seat Anchor Bars May Be Blocked: excess adhesive can interfere with child seat installation.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of these notices instructs owners to stop driving or park outside. The May 2022 XT4 driver's seat frame notice does not tell owners to stop driving; it describes reduced driver restraint in a crash. The June 2018 CT6 child seat anchorage notice does not tell owners to stop driving; it describes interference with child seat attachment. The March 2025 Lyriq manual notice likewise does not tell owners to stop driving; it describes injury risk from improperly adjusted head restraints.
What the free repair involves
For the 2022 XT4, dealers inspect the driver's seat and replace the cushion frame as necessary, free of charge. For the 2016-2018 CT6, dealers inspect, remove excess anchorage bar adhesive, and apply anti-corrosion primer, free of charge. For the 2025 Lyriq, GM mails corrected owner's manual inserts, free of charge.

Common questions
Does the Lyriq head restraint recall replace the seats?

What do dealers change on the recalled XT4 driver's seat?
The May 2022 notice for certain 2022 XT4 vehicles directs dealers to inspect the driver's seat and replace the cushion frame as necessary, free of charge. The defect concerns an improper weld in the power tilt-adjustment mechanism.
Why might a child seat be difficult to attach in a recalled CT6?
The June 2018 notice for certain 2016-2018 CT6 vehicles says excess structural adhesive on the inboard child seat anchorage bars can interfere with installation. Dealers inspect the bars, remove excess adhesive, and apply anti-corrosion primer, free of charge.
