Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured between April 25, 2012, and June 25, 2015. The recall involves the sun/moon roof assembly on these vehicles.

The affected vehicles may experience the roof panel closing automatically when the non-recessed switches are pressed while the roof panel is open. Because the switch is not recessed, it may be pressed inadvertently, resulting in unintended auto-closure of the roof panel. This defect increases the risk of personal injury and fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the roof console accessory switch trim plate free of charge. The recall began on August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. GM's number for this recall is 15568, and this recall supersedes 15V-106.
