The Gist

GM has issued a nationwide recall and halted shipments for the Cadillac Vistiq following reports of a defect in the third-row seating.

General Motors has announced a nationwide recall affecting approximately 15,000 Cadillac Vistiq electric SUVs in the United States. The decision comes alongside an immediate halt on shipments of new models as the automaker addresses a critical safety concern.

Third-Row Seating Defect

The recall was initiated after a fault was identified in the vehicle's third-row seating architecture. According to official reports, the defect poses a risk where passengers could potentially become trapped in the rear of the vehicle. This hardware issue has prompted GM to prioritize safety inspections and repairs before any further units are delivered to customers.

Owners of the affected luxury eSUVs are expected to be notified shortly regarding the next steps for service. As of now, the company has not specified the exact timeline for when shipments will resume or when the necessary parts for the fix will be available at dealerships nationwide.
