Cadillac Lyriq seat belt bracket defect recall for 2023-2024 models

General Motors is recalling certain 2023-2024 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles because the bracket anchoring the rear seat belts may have been improperly welded. The defect may prevent the seat belts from properly restraining occupants 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: This is a structural defect affecting the critical seat belt safety system, but no injuries or deaths are reported in the source. The rubric establishes a hard cap of Score 3 when hazards are theoretical with no reported injuries, even for structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

General Motors is recalling certain 2023-2024 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles due to a defect in the rear seat belt anchorage system. The bracket that anchors the left-rear and center-rear seat belts may have been improperly welded to the seat frame.

An improperly welded seat belt bracket may not restrain an occupant as intended, which increases the risk of injury during a crash.

According to NHTSA, approximately 43 vehicles are affected. Owners are advised not to use the left-rear and center-rear seating positions until the recall repair is completed. Dealers will replace the rear seat cushion frame at no cost to owners.
