The 2004 Cadillac CTS-V has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump module electrical terminal that can overheat and melt, allowing fuel to leak near potential ignition sources and creating a fire risk, while also causing the engine to lose power or stall.
Both remaining recalls involve brake system corrosion, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue. The front brake hose fittings at the calipers can corrode in regions with heavy road salt use, causing the brake lines to leak. When that happens, brake fluid loss extends stopping distances and raises the risk of a crash.

At a glance
What can fail
An electrical terminal on the fuel pump module can overheat and melt, causing fuel to leak and reducing fuel system pressure. Fuel leaks near ignition sources can catch fire. Low pressure can reduce engine power or cause stalling.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the fuel pump module and the fuel tank jumper harness.
