Cadillac XT5 and XT6 dashboard reminder lights may not work
medium How serious is it? About this label
Without the lit reminder, a driver could leave the hazard lights, high beams, or turn signals on without meaning to, and lights left on unintentionally can confuse other drivers and raise the risk of a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac XT5 and XT6 vehicles. On these cars, the instrument panel may not light up when the hazard warning lights, the high beams, or the turn signals are switched on, so the usual reminder on the dash is missing. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet two federal safety rules, one covering controls and displays and one covering lamps and reflectors. Dealers will update the instrument panel software.
What you should do
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. 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 24V459000.

- Summary
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Cadillac XT5 and 2024-2025 Cadillac XT6 vehicles.
