The 2013 Cadillac Escalade ESV has 3 recalls, the most serious being a defective passenger-side front airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
This airbag recall applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity states and territories, where moisture exposure raises the risk of inflator rupture. There is also a recall covering a fractured park lock cable or a defective steering lock module that may have been installed during assembly, either of which can affect the vehicle's ability to stay in park or prevent rollaway as intended.
