Buying a used 2021 Cadillac CT4? Check these 4 recalls first
Four recalls apply. Two are rated high: side curtain airbags possibly misinstalled and a transmission fault that may lock the wheels. Two are medium: an airbag warning light that may not work, and daytime running lights staying on. The brake assist recall from 2020 is not listed for this year. None carry a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Seven unverified NHTSA complaints report no crashes, fires or injuries, mostly engine 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.
- Confirm both airbag-related recalls are closed out by VIN.
- Watch the airbag warning light at key-on to see that it illuminates and clears.
- Ask about transmission behavior and any unexpected wheel lock or lurch.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
