- Summary

- Consequence
- Without these functions enabled, a persistent ECM failure could result in a throttle opening greater than commanded by the driver and a crash could occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will reprogram the ECM on these vehicles free of charge. The recall began on January 24, 2006. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.

Has your Cadillac been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Cadillac dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
