Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6 and CT6 Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where excess structural adhesive may have been applied to the inboard child seat anchorage bars during assembly. This excess adhesive can interfere with the installation of a child seat, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

If a child seat cannot be attached correctly to the anchorage bar due to the adhesive, there is an increased risk of injury. The recall covers 22,043 vehicles, including 2016 Cadillac CT6 models and 2017-2018 Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid models.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the inboard child seat anchorage bars, remove any excess adhesive, and apply anti-corrosion primer free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2018. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
