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 safety-critical system with potential crash consequences, but the source text does not report any injuries, deaths, or confirmed incidents. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury score as High (3).

Plain-English summary

General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2023 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. The body control module (BCM) may have been updated with incorrectly calibrated software, which can prevent the pedestrian warning sounds from activating.

Without these external warning sounds, pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners should contact a Cadillac dealer to have the BCM reprogrammed at no charge. Owners can reach Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
