2010 CADILLAC SRX Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Cadillac SRX has 10 recalls, the most serious being a rear suspension toe link that can loosen and separate, causing the rear wheel to suddenly angle inward or outward and leaving the driver with little ability to control the vehicle. Two power steering concerns affect certain models with 2.8L or 3.0L engines: the power steering pressure line can develop a fluid leak, and if enough fluid escapes onto hot engine parts, a fire can start under the hood. With less fluid in the system, the pump will also make noise and steering will require noticeably more effort. On the drivetrain side, the transmission shift cable can pull free from its bracket, leaving the driver unable to shift in or out of gear. The shifter may then show Park while the transmission is actually still in a driving gear, which can allow the vehicle to roll. There is also an engine concern exclusive to vehicles with the 2.8L V6: using regular-grade fuel instead of the required premium can trigger pre-ignition, and if driving continues after that knocking begins, a connecting rod or piston can break and cause complete engine failure.
