The 1997 Cadillac Seville has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak risk on vehicles with the 4.0L V8 engine, where the nylon tubing in the fuel system can crack and spill fuel into the engine compartment, raising the risk of a fire.
The remaining two recalls describe the same brake control issue: the anti-lock brake module can activate the ABS system during normal braking when ABS is not needed, which extends stopping distances and raises the risk of a crash.
