Cadillac has recalled 53 electric vehicles (EVs) because their batteries may not be properly anchored. In an accident, they could move more than anticipated, increasing damages or leading to a fire.
Recalled models include a couple dozen each of the:
- 2025 Cadillac Lyriq
- 2026 Cadillac Vistiq
Cars are inspected during production at the factory. Cadillac says these cars were pulled off the line for inspection and “underwent a repair during the assembly process that required replacing the high-voltage battery.”
During that repair, a third-party vendor may not have tightened all bolts to the specified torque.
Dealers will inspect the batteries and tighten or replace the bolts as necessary to fix the problem. Recall repairs are always free.
Automakers recall many cars every year, sometimes more than once. They try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some fall through the system’s cracks and unknowingly drive recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls.
