Buying a used 2019 Cadillac XTS? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls: a high-severity issue with front seat belt buckles missing a rivet, and a medium recall covering GM cars and SUVs with weak rear brakes. Neither carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Complaint volume is low — five unverified reports filed with NHTSA, one citing a crash, none citing fires or injuries — spread thinly across power train, engine, air bags, and seats with one report each. The safety-restraint recall is the item to document.
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.
- Get written confirmation the front seat belt buckle recall was completed
- Ask when rear brakes were last serviced and whether the brake recall was performed
- Latch and tug both front seat belts and check for any air bag warning light
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
