Buying a used 2020 Cadillac CT4? Check these 4 recalls first
The launch year carries four recalls, three rated high: brake assist that can fail, side curtain airbags possibly misinstalled, and a transmission fault that may lock the wheels. A fourth, medium-severity item covers daytime running lights staying on. None carry a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Just eight unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA — no crashes, fires or injuries — spread across engine, service brakes, power train and fuel/propulsion.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify by VIN that the airbag and transmission recalls were completed.
- Ask if the car has ever lurched, locked up or refused to shift.
- Check that the daytime running lights switch off as they should.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
