2005 CADILLAC CTS; 2006 CADILLAC CTS; 2007 CADILLAC CTS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2005-2007 Cadillac CTS vehicles because of a defect in the passenger sensing system mat located in the front passenger seat. Repeated flexing of this mat can cause it to kink, bend, or fold, which may break the internal connections. If the connections break, the sensor will not detect a front seat passenger and will disable the front passenger air bag.
If the front passenger air bag does not deploy during a crash that requires its deployment, the passenger may not receive proper protection and could experience increased risk of injury or more severe injuries. Affected owners should contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or visit www.gmownercenter.com. Dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge, with the recall expected to begin on or about March 15, 2011.
