General Motors has issued a Customer Satisfaction Program for certain examples of the 2021 to 2024 Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 over a concerning noise coming from the rear of the vehicle.
Select 2021 to 2024 model-year XT5 and XT6 units may have a condition where some customers notice a humming, whining, or squealing type of noise coming from the rear of the vehicle while driving anywhere between 20 to 70 mph. Certified GM technicians are to insect affected vehicles, and perform a test drive in an effort to replicate the noise. If this is found to be the case, the techs are to replace the torque tube assembly, which should take a little less than four hours to complete.
There are a number of vehicles covered under this Customer Satisfaction Program, including:
- 2021 to 2023 GMC Acadia
- 2021 to 2024 Buick Enclave
- 2021 to 2024 Cadillac XT5
- 2021 to 2024 Cadillac XT6
- 2021 to 2024 Chevy Blazer
- 2021 to 2024 Chevy Traverse
It’s worth noting that the cause of this noise is likely a damaged bearing.
As a reminder, both the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 are powered by one of two engine options, including the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, rated at 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, or the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque.
No matter the powerplant choice, every XT5 and XT6 unit features the GM nine-speed automatic transmission as standard. Meanwhile, drivetrain options include either standard FWD or optional AWD.
Under the body panels, the two luxury crossovers ride on the GM C1 platform, while production of the 2024 models both kicked off in June 2023 at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.
Looking ahead, an all-new generation of the XT5 is currently in the works, and although it will be exclusive to the Chinese market, Cadillac is considering the second-gen XT5 for North America as well, according to GM Authority sources. As for the XT6, the automaker should normally be working on a mid-cycle refresh, but no prototypes have been spotted testing so far. Nonetheless, check out our rendering of a potential refreshed Cadillac XT6.

In one of your information, the technology consultant (your words in this) is to insect, the problem??? I think there is a spelling error. Take a look.
I found the same spelling error for inspect.
