NHTSA campaign 16V687, reported September 23, 2016, 131 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A bolt connecting the front passenger seat belt webbing to the seat's anchor plate may be missing. Without it, the belt webbing can separate from the seat anchor.

If the seat belt detaches, it may not properly restrain the front passenger during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Owners are advised not to let anyone sit in the front passenger seat until the repair is done.

The repair is free at an authorized Cadillac dealer: the anchor bolt will be replaced, or installed if missing. Owners will be notified by mail, but you can also check your VIN for open recalls or call Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 and reference recall number 16035.
