Cadillac is recalling 547 of its new 2010 SRX crossovers equipped with the turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 engine, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The turbo reacts badly to regular unleaded gasoline and causes pinging and knocking in the engine, which can lead to connecting rods or pistons breaking. Complete engine failure is possible if the car continues to be driven after the noise begins.
The redesigned SRX launched last year with a standard V-6 engine, and the turbo only recently went on sale. The turbo requires premium gasoline.
Beginning June 11, Cadillac will reprogram the engine control module free of charge. For more information, owners can call Cadillac at 866-982-2339 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.
