5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2022 Cadillac XT5 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel tank rollover valve that can fail to seal in a rollover crash, allowing fuel to leak and raising the risk of fire.
The rear suspension also has two significant concerns. A left-rear toe link may have been tightened incorrectly and can work loose or separate entirely while driving, causing a sudden loss of vehicle control. On the drivetrain side, the transmission may contain an incorrect sun gear that allows the driver-side half-shaft to disengage from the transmission. When this happens, the vehicle can lose drive power unexpectedly or roll away when left in park, both of which can lead to a crash.
