2010 Cadillac Escalade Ext

The 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT has 3 recalls, all involving the passenger-side front airbag inflator, which can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

These recalls cover the same defect across multiple filing campaigns: the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture with excessive force, scattering sharp metal shards toward occupants rather than deploying safely. The risk applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity states and territories, including Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where heat and moisture accelerate the breakdown of the inflator propellant over time. Because prior repair attempts across related campaigns did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, multiple filings address overlapping model years and populations. Any Escalade EXT in this group that has not yet been repaired carries a live risk every time a passenger occupies the front seat.
