General Motors is recalling 2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles because the front driver's seat track bracket may be incorrect, potentially causing the seat to detach during a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat track bracket) that increases the risk of personal injury during a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured between November 11, 2014, and December 3, 2014. The recall involves 3,155 vehicles where the front driver's seat may have been built with an incorrect seat track bracket. This defect may prevent the driver's seat from being properly attached to the seat track.

The front outboard seat bracket may become disengaged during a vehicle crash, which increases the risk of personal injury. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the defect presents a safety risk during collision events.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the affected seat track hook brackets free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
