5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2022 Cadillac XT5 has three recalls, all rated at the same severity level, covering drivetrain, suspension, and fuel system concerns that can each raise the risk of a crash or fire.
On the drivetrain side, a transmission built with an incorrect sun gear can cause the driver-side half-shaft to pull free from the transmission, resulting in sudden loss of drive power or the vehicle rolling away when parked. The rear suspension has a separate concern: the left-rear toe link may not have been tightened properly and can loosen or separate, causing the rear of the vehicle to shift unpredictably and reducing steering control. The fuel system recall affects all-wheel drive models specifically: a rollover valve in the fuel tank may not seal correctly during a rollover crash, allowing fuel to leak and increasing the risk of fire.
