2027 Cadillac Optiq recalls

Electrical system: body control module, software · Visibility: power window devices and controls

NHTSA campaign 26V612000 · reported September 24, 2026 · General Motors, LLC · 29,347 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Cadillac OPTIQ vehicles. When closed using the key fob's express-up function, the front windows may fail to detect an obstruction and reverse direction. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
The risk
A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
The body control module (BCM) software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N262567230. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 24, 2026.
