GM Recalls 74 2024 Cadillac XT5s For Airbag Issue

Front Airbag Cushion May Not Deploy...

2024 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury. (Cadillac).

General Motors (GM) is recalling approximately 74 units of its 2024 Cadillac XT5 compact crossover due to a driver’s front airbag cushion that may tear during deployment, resulting in the airbag not deploying as intended.

GM opened a product investigation on February 23, 2024, after GM’s airbag module supplier notified GM of an airbag cushion tear during a lot-acceptance test. The supplier contained the affected lot and conducted additional deployment tests at various temperatures.

Based on the results of this testing, on April 25, 2024, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall for vehicles built with airbag modules from the prior day’s production lot, which were built with the same design change as the modules in the contained production lot. GM is not aware of any field incidents associated with this condition.

Dealers will replace the driver’s front airbag module free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 17, 2024. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM’s number for this recall is N232439241.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
