Cadillac Recalls — Canada & USA

Cadillac has 44 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1959 through 2026. Across those models, 403 recall campaigns are recorded, and the distribution skews heavily toward the upper tiers of the severity rating system: 48% of campaigns fall into Critical and 29% into High, meaning roughly 77% of all Cadillac recalls carry one of the two most serious designations. Critical recalls in the system typically involve conditions such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or the potential for serious injury or death. High recalls cover significant safety hazards that fall just short of that threshold. Medium campaigns account for 14% of the total, while Low represents 9%, and Informational rounds out less than 1%.

The Escalade leads the lineup with 40 recall campaigns, followed closely by the Escalade ESV and the CTS, each at 37. Among the most notable recent activity, a Critical recall affects 2015 ATS vehicles, where an inflator rupture can send sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants, carrying a risk of serious injury. That type of defect, tied to occupant restraint system components, is among the more consequential issues recorded across the lineup and reflects the kinds of conditions that push campaigns into the Critical tier regardless of the model or model year involved.
