Cadillac XT6 brake fluid cap missing its warning label

NHTSA campaign 22V392000 · Reported 2022-06-02 · General Motors, LLC

Without a warning label, the brake fluid may be unintentionally contaminated by debris, which can affect brake performance and increase the risk of a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

Under the hood, the cap on the brake fluid tank is missing its printed warning label. That label is what warns against letting dirt or other debris get into the fluid when the cap is opened. Without it, the brake fluid could be contaminated without anyone realizing. Dirty brake fluid can affect how well the brakes work. Federal brake rules require the label, so these cars don't meet the standard as built.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your XT6 is covered.
2. Contact your Cadillac dealer, or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (recall N222369130), to have the cap inspected.
3. The dealer replaces the cap if needed, at no cost to you.
