Cadillac XT6 recalls
Risk: Without the illuminated reminder, the driver could fail to turn off the lights when no longer needed. Hazard warning lights, high beams, or turn signals that remain activated unintentionally can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A windshield that is not properly bonded may detach during a crash and increase the risk of injury.
Risk: A half-shaft disengaging from the transmission can result in a loss of drive power or vehicle rollaway when the vehicle is placed in park. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Illegible tire size information may result in the wrong tires being installed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: An inoperative rearview camera can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A fuel tank rollover valve that does not properly seal can result in a fuel leak during a rollover crash, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: A loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Without a warning label, the brake fluid may be unintentionally contaminated by debris, which can affect brake performance and increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Improperly attached and seated fuel supply lines may loosen or separate, causing a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: Missing bolts on the start-stop accumulator endcap could result in a transmission oil leak and may progress to a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire.
Risk: Insufficient fuel supply can result in an engine stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the diffuser separates from the inflator during deployment, RRAB performance may be degraded, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
