Buying a used 2021 Cadillac XT6? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls shape this year: a critical fuel leak risk shared with the XT5 and GMC Acadia, and a rearview camera failure rated medium. Neither carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The 18 owner complaints filed with NHTSA are unverified reports and involve no crashes, fires, or injuries; they cluster in fuel/propulsion, back-over prevention, and electrical system areas — largely the same ground the two recalls cover, so recall completion is the main thing to pin down.
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.
- Ask for VIN proof that the fuel leak recall repair was completed
- Cycle the rearview camera several times in reverse, cold and warm
- Watch for electrical glitches or display dropouts during a longer test drive
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
