What this recall means for you
Certain Cadillac Optiq vehicles from model years 2025 through 2027 have a software problem in the body control module. When the front windows are closed using the key fob's express-up function, they may fail to detect an obstruction and may not reverse direction as they should. This means the vehicle does not meet federal window safety requirements.
A window that keeps closing on an obstruction instead of reversing can pinch a passenger before it retracts, which raises the risk of injury.
GM will update the body control module software at no cost, either at an authorized dealer or through an over-the-air update. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. You can contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 with GM recall number N262567230, and you can check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA.gov, where affected VINs became searchable on September 24, 2026.
