In the affected vehicles, the right-side curtain airbag is programmed to turn off if the passenger-sensing system detects the front passenger seat is unoccupied. However, the right rear occupant may not be protected in frontal and side crashes. The airbag will deploy during a vehicle rollover.
The recall is expected to begin June 17. GM dealers will reprogram the sensing and diagnostic module for free. For more info, owners can call Cadillac at 866-982-2339 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236.
