Buying a used 2020 Cadillac XT4? Check these 5 recalls first
The 2020 XT4 has a longer list than the 2019: the same critical transmission fluid leak recall, plus high-severity recalls for GM brake assist that can fail and for potentially defective Continental tires, and medium ones for loose rear seat belt fasteners and a backup camera that may go blank. No stop-driving or park-outside warnings. Of 17 unverified owner complaints, service brakes is the largest category, followed by engine and forward collision avoidance; one fire was reported, no crashes.
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 by VIN that the transmission leak and brake assist recalls were completed
- Check whether the tires are the recalled Continental units or replacements
- Test brake pedal feel and confirm the backup camera and seat belt anchors are sound
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
