2019 Cadillac XTS recalls

Seat belts: front

NHTSA campaign 18V899000 · reported December 19, 2018 · General Motors LLC · 175 vehicles potentially affected

The problem

The risk

The fix
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front seat buckle assemblies, replacing them if the rivets are missing, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N182204040.
