GM Recalls 2025-2027 Cadillac Optiq for Window Obstruction Detection Failure

Plain-English summary

General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2025-2027 Cadillac Optiq vehicles due to a defect in the body control module software. When the front windows are closed using the key fob's express-up function, they may fail to detect an obstruction and reverse direction. This failure means the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."

A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury. No specific number of affected units or reported injuries is provided in the source text.

Dealers will update the body control module (BCM) software free of charge, either in-person or through an over-the-air (OTA) update. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 9, 2026. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N262567230. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 24, 2026.
