The 1986 Cadillac Seville has two recalls, the more serious being a floor mat that can shift out of position and trap the accelerator pedal, preventing the throttle from returning to idle and leaving the driver unable to control vehicle speed.
The second recall involves the Twilight Sentinel automatic headlight system, which has an intermittent electrical fault that can cause the headlights and instrument panel lights to cut out without warning, reducing visibility while driving at night.
