Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling 554,328 Cadillac vehicles from model years 2003-2014 CTS and 2004-2006 SRX because the ignition switch may move out of the run position due to weight on the key ring, road conditions, or jarring events. When the ignition switch moves out of run position, the engine shuts off and the air bags may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
GM began notifying owners in September 2014 and will install the fix at no charge. Dealers will add two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys. Until the recall service is completed, owners should remove all items from their key rings except the ignition key and remove the key fob from the key ring. Affected owners can contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or reference recall number 14172.
