Vehicles Affected: Approximately 130 model-year 2016 Cadillac CT6 sedans manufactured between July 21 and July 22, 2016
The Problem: The bolt that connects the front passenger seat belt webbing to the seat’s anchor plate may be missing. Without the bolt, the seat belt webbing may detach from the seat anchor, failing to properly restrain the front-seat passenger in a crash and increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will either replace the bolt or install one if it’s missing for free.
What Owners Should Do: Cadillac manufacturer GM began notifying owners on Sept. 24. The automaker advised owners not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat until the fix has been completed. Owners can call Cadillac at 800-458-8006, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
