What's wrong, in plain English

Some 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6 vehicles were built with extra adhesive on the rear inboard child seat anchor bars. This buildup can get in the way when someone tries to attach a child safety seat to those bars, making correct installation difficult. If the child seat cannot be attached the right way to the anchor bar, it may not hold the seat securely.

What you should do

1. Check your CT6's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Cadillac dealer, or call Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.
3. The inspection and repair are free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V437000.
