2013 BUICK LACROSSE; 2013 CADILLAC SRX
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX vehicles due to a software problem in the transmission control module. The defect may cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into Sport mode, which removes the engine braking effect that helps slow the vehicle. This unexpected loss of engine braking could increase the risk of a crash.
If you own one of these vehicles, GM will notify you about the recall. Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module at no charge to fix the problem. Cadillac owners should call 1-866-982-2339, and Buick owners should call 1-866-694-6546 to schedule service or obtain more information about the recall.
