General Motors Recalls 2016 Cadillac CT6 for Front Passenger Seat Belt Bolt Issue

General Motors is recalling 2016 Cadillac CT6 vehicles because a missing bolt may allow the front passenger seat belt webbing to detach, increasing injury risk in 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 (missing seat belt bolt) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2016 Cadillac CT6 vehicles manufactured between July 21, 2016, and July 22, 2016. The recall addresses a defect where the bolt connecting the front passenger seat belt webbing to the seat's anchor plate may be missing. Without this bolt, the seat belt webbing may detach from the seat anchor.

If the seat belt webbing detaches, the seat belt may not properly restrain the front seat passenger in the event of a crash, which increases the risk of injury. Owners are advised not to allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger seat until the recall remedy has been performed.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing front passenger seat belt webbing anchor bolt or install a bolt if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on September 24, 2016. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
