Buying a used 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 55 owner complaints on file

Four recalls: a critical rear-wheel lock-up issue, third-row seat belts that may break, 6.2L V8 engines that may fail, and daytime running lights that stay on. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The complaint record is the thing to weigh — 55 unverified reports to NHTSA, 42 of them about the engine, plus power train and fuel/propulsion, with one crash, two injuries, and no fires. Engine reports far outweigh everything else owners filed.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Ask whether the engine was repaired or replaced under the 6.2L V8 recall or warranty.
3. Confirm by VIN that the rear wheel lock-up and third-row seat belt recalls were completed.
4. Listen for unusual engine noise on a cold start and request full engine service records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
