Buying a used 2022 Cadillac CT5? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls apply: the CT4/CT5 side curtain airbags possibly misinstalled, and daytime running lights that stay on. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction, and this year escapes the transmission wheel-lock and airbag-warning-light recalls that hit the 2021 CT5. The 11 unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA report no crashes, fires, or injuries, spread thinly across structure, tires, electrical system, and air bags. For a recent luxury sedan, that record is unremarkable.
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 by VIN that the side curtain airbag inspection or repair was completed.
- Check that the daytime running lights turn off as designed.
- Ask about tire age and wear, plus any electrical or body repairs, matching the top complaint areas.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
