Cadillac CTS and CTS-V recall to affect 20,224 cars

By Brett Davis |

Cadillac has announced a recall which affects 20,224 Cadillac CTS and CTS-V models due to an ‘increased risk of leg injury in the event of a frontal crash,’ according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US.

Cadillac is yet to release specific details about the recall, but details provided to the NHTSA are saying it has something to do with the glove box assembly. The recall issue isn’t really something ‘wrong’ with the car per se, it’s more of a potential problem only in the event of a frontal impact.

The company is taking the recall issue very seriously though and is offering to replace necessary glove box compartment structures on all the affected Cadillac CTS and CTS-V models, made in 2009 and 2010, free of charge.

The recall and repairs are scheduled to begin on October 20.

    wow I happen to just come accross this by “accident” no pun intended but I am upset that its only 2009-2010 models of the CTS. I own a 2003 CTS that the air bag light came on and was told by a technician that if I was in an accident my air bags would not deploy. Since I purchased this car I have had nothing but problems. I have replaced all 4 02 sensors and the check engine light is still on. When tested it says the 02 sensors are bad replaced them a second time with genuine parts from cadillac and its still on. I also had a thermostat problem. My husband actually HATES my car, although its beautiful and in pristine body condition and interrior it has engine problems that dont seem to be fixable.
