Buying a used 2020 Cadillac XT5? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls apply to the 2020 XT5. The critical one involves a fuel pump that can stall the engine, affecting several GM SUVs. Two separate recalls cover potentially faulty Continental tires, and medium-severity ones address weak roof airbags and a rearview camera that fails. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. The 22 unverified owner complaints to NHTSA report no crashes or fires, and concentrate in the power train and steering, with engine issues also noted.
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 the fuel pump recall repair was done and ask about any stalling history
- Check the tires against both Continental recalls, or confirm replacement
- Drive for steering and drivetrain symptoms, and test the rearview camera
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
