Cadillac CT6 Recalled Over Park/Position Lamp Intensity

General Motors has issued a recall for certain examples of the 2016 and 2017 model-year Cadillac CT6 luxury sedan over the light intensity of the park/position lamps.

The problem: affected vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, which relates to the vehicle’s “Lamp, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment.” The light output of the forward Park/Position lamps may exceed the maximum values permitted by Standard 108, causing them to be brighter than compliant lamps.

The hazards: forward-facing Park/Position lamps that exceed the maximum allowed brightness may distract other drivers or make it difficult for them to see, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: dealers will install replacement right and left-side in-line headlamp jumper harnesses, which should correct the condition. This repair will require two separate in-line headlamp jumper harnesses and should take about 40 minutes for a dealership technician to complete.

Affected components: forward-facing Park/Position lamps.

Affected vehicles:

• 2016 Cadillac CT6
• 2017 Cadillac CT6

Number of affected vehicles: a total of six vehicles are affected by this issue. It’s not clear if all of these vehicles are located in the U.S., or if they are split between the U.S. and Canada.

Owners should: owners of affected vehicles can wait for GM to reach out to them, at which point they’ll be instructed to make an appointment with a dealership.
