Plain-English summary

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured between January 31, 2012, and March 18, 2013. The recall applies specifically to vehicles equipped with 18-inch wheels. The defect involves wheel lug nuts that may loosen over time.

If the lug nuts loosen, they may fall off or cause the wheel studs to fracture. Either condition would allow the wheel to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall campaign number is 13116, and the recall began on June 3, 2013.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove and reinstall the wheel nuts by performing a tire rotation, free of charge. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
