What this recall means for you
Excess structural adhesive may have been applied to the inboard child seat anchorage bars during assembly. This can interfere with installing a child seat, so the seat may not attach correctly to the anchor bar, and the vehicles do not meet federal child restraint anchorage requirements.
If a child seat cannot be attached correctly, the risk of injury to a child in a crash increases. Owners of affected 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6 vehicles, including the 2017 and 2018 Plug-In Hybrid models, should contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 and reference GM recall number 18228.
