Cadillac CT6 child seat anchors blocked by extra glue

NHTSA campaign 18V437000 · Reported 2018-06-28 · General Motors LLC

medium How serious is it? About this label

If the child seat cannot be attached correctly to the anchorage bar, there is an increased the risk of injury. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

The metal bars in the back seat that a child seat clips onto got too much glue during assembly on some 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6s. The extra glue is on the inner anchor bars and can get in the way, so a child seat may not clip on correctly. A child seat that is not attached properly may not protect a child the way it should in a crash. Dealers will scrape off the extra glue and add rust protection.
