- [10V644000](/recalls/nhtsa/10V644000.md), 2010-12-17: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE\-INACTIVE. GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005\-2007 CADILLAC CTS VEHICLES.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2015157](/recalls/tc/2015157.md), 2015-04-14: Brakes. On certain vehicles, originally sold, or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months \(Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland \& Labrador\), the front brake hose fitting at the caliper may corrode.  If the fitting corrodes significantly, the internal brake hose\-tube interface may develop a leak or in some cases break, causing a sudden increase in braking distances which may lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will replace both front brake hose assemblies.  Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 2010\-080.
- [2014381](/recalls/tc/2014381.md), 2014-09-09: Fuel System. On certain vehicles, an electrical terminal on the fuel pump module may overheat and melt, potentially allowing fuel to leak and/or affecting fuel system pressure.  Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Low fuel pressure as a result of the leak could also affect engine performance which could result in reduced engine power and/or stalling. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or property damage.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness.
- [2014273](/recalls/tc/2014273.md), 2014-07-02: Electrical. On certain vehicles, there is a risk that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position.  If this were to occur, engine power, power braking and power steering would be affected, which would unexpectedly increase steering and brake pedal effort, potentially increasing stopping distances and the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  The timing of the key movement out of the "run" position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may also result in the airbags not deploying in a subsequent collision, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers are to remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmitter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key.  Important note: Until the correction is performed, drivers should adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.
- [2010458](/recalls/tc/2010458.md), 2010-12-20: Airbag. On certain vehicles, repeated flexing of the Passenger Sensing System mat in the front passenger seat may cause the mat to kink, bend, or fold.  This flexing can break the connections in the mat.  If this occurs, the front passenger airbag could become disabled.  If the airbag becomes disabled, the passenger airbag status indicator on the rearview mirror will show that the airbag is OFF, the AIR BAG indicator will be illuminated, and a SERVICE AIR BAG message will appear in the Driver Information Centre.  Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash \(where deployment is warranted\) could increase the risk of personal injuries to the seat occupant.  Correction: Dealers will replace the Passenger Sensing System mat and the seat cushion in the front passenger seat of vehicles built between December 8, 2003 and August 31, 2004, as well as those built from June 6, 2005 to Feb 18, 2007.  Owners of other 2005\-2007 Cadillac CTS vehicles will be provided with a "special warranty coverage".  Should this issue occur, GM will repair these vehicle free of charge up to 10 years or 192,000 km from first vehicle registration.
- [2010080](/recalls/tc/2010080.md), 2010-03-16: Brakes. On certain vehicles, originally sold, or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months \(Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland \& Labrador\), the front brake hose fitting at the caliper may corrode.  If the fitting corrodes significantly, the internal brake hose\-tube interface may develop a leak or in some cases break, causing a sudden increase in braking distances which may lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace both front brake hose assemblies.
- [2007417](/recalls/tc/2007417.md), 2007-12-19: Powertrain. On certain vehicles, the drive axle differential seal may leak \(note that all\-wheel drive vehicles have two seals\).  Reduced lubrication may cause the differential to become noisier.  Continued use may cause damage to bearings and other differential components.  Three conditions could occur: 1\). When the vehicle is stopped and shifted to reverse, the differential may jam and prevent vehicle movement.  2\). the damage can cause drag that will feel like the parking brake is applied; or 3\) the differential could jam and lock the drive wheels while the vehicle is underway.  Should the latter occur, it could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash, causing injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace the drive axle differential seal\(s\).
- [2006016](/recalls/tc/2006016.md), 2006-01-23: Fuel System. On certain vehicles, fuel starvation may cause the engine to stall when fuel level is less than ¼ tank.  This condition occurs without the illumination of the Fuel Level Low indicator light or the warning chime.  If the engine stops running, the operator may not be able to restart the vehicle.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Electronic Control Module \(ECM\) with new software that will compensate for fuel that has been transferred to the left side of the "saddle" design fuel tank.
