2015 CADILLAC ESCALADE; 2015 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2015 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV vehicles manufactured between April 6, 2014, and May 13, 2014, because the front passenger air bag module may not be properly secured to the instrument panel due to an insufficiently heated infrared weld. In a crash, this defect could cause the air bag to only partially deploy, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
GM began notifying owners of the recall on June 9, 2014, and will mail a second letter when replacement parts become available. Once parts are in stock, dealers will replace the instrument panel right side upper trim panel at no charge. Until the vehicle is repaired, occupants should not sit in the front passenger seat. Owners can contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or reference GM recall number 14220.
