Buying a used 2025 Cadillac Optiq? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls apply to the 2025 Optiq: a high-severity one covering tire tread that can peel off, shared with the Chevrolet Equinox EV, and a minor administrative one for GM vehicles missing the electronic owner's manual download. Neither instructs owners to stop driving or park outside. Twelve unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA — one crash, no fires or injuries — spread fairly evenly across forward collision avoidance, the electrical system, unspecified issues and the service brakes.
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.
- Check whether the recalled tires were replaced, and note the current tire brand and date codes
- Confirm the owner's manual recall notice was addressed at a dealer
- Test the brakes and driver-assist warnings for false or missing alerts
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
