What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V vehicles manufactured between September 6, 2003, and June 11, 2007, that are currently registered or were originally sold in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. In these vehicles, snow or water containing road salt or other contaminants may corrode the front brake hose fitting at the caliper, potentially causing the brake system to leak.

A leaking brake system could lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace both front brake hose assemblies free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2015. Affected consumers should contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 to arrange the repair, or reference GM recall number 15149.
