Buying a used 2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV? Check these 4 recalls first

Engine failure and suspension hardware stand out alongside the lighting issues. Its 92 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 65 tagged ENGINE and 20 POWER TRAIN.

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 VIN recall completion for engine failure and rear suspension bolts.
- Confirm brake warning light and daytime running light recall repairs.
- Ask for records of engine failures and powertrain repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
