## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2004\-2007 Cadillac CTS\-V vehicles manufactured between September 6, 2003, and June 11, 2007, currently registered, or originally sold, in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.  In the affected vehicles, snow or water containing road salt or other contaminants may corrode the front brake hose fitting at the caliper.


## What can happen

Corrosion may cause the brake system to leak which could lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace both front brake hose assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2015.  Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1\-800\-458\-8006. GM's number for this recall is 15149.  Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 10V\-105.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
