Cadillac Lyriq Recalls

The Cadillac LYRIQ has 16 recalls covering the 2023 through 2026 model years, with the most serious being an anti-lock brake system software defect on 2023–2024 all-wheel drive models where the ABS can activate unexpectedly, release brake pressure, and cause a significant loss of braking ability.

The 2023–2024 model years also carry a separate ABS software issue on 2023 vehicles where the system can fail to function at all, again reducing or eliminating braking. On the structural side, front stabilizer bar bracket bolts on 2023–2025 vehicles can loosen and separate from the frame, and if they do, the detached hardware can damage high-voltage cables or battery coolant lines and cause the vehicle to shut down while driving. The rear seat belt anchor brackets on 2023–2024 models may have been inadequately welded to the seat frame, meaning the belts may not hold an occupant in a crash.

Two separate drive power issues affect the 2023 and 2024 model years. On 2023 vehicles, connections inside the high-voltage battery pack can be out of position or poorly welded, cutting drive power without warning. On 2024 vehicles, wiring inside the rear electric motor can short against itself and also cause a sudden loss of drive power. The instrument panel display on 2023–2024 models can go blank while driving, taking the speedometer, warning lights, and rearview camera image with it. The rearview camera on 2024 vehicles can also fail independently, showing a gray screen when shifting into reverse.

The 2025 model year has two issues: battery mounting bolts that may be missing or loose, which raises fire risk if the pack shifts in a crash, and an owner's manual that incorrectly describes how to adjust the rear outboard head restraints. The 2026 model year has a compliance recall for a missing or incomplete owner's manual. Going back to 2023, the pedestrian warning sound system can fail to emit the low-speed alert tone, leaving people on foot unaware the vehicle is approaching.
