One of The General’s latest automotive technology elements is the hands-free liftgate. This convenience feature is now included on some refreshed 2024 Cadillac XT4 models. The liftgate has had issues on some affected XT4 crossovers. GM has addressed it with a Service Update highlighting a newly available fix for this problem.
Service Update A242435120 is intended for 2024 Cadillac XT4 units that have an issue where the hands-free power liftgate with the projected logo lamp shuts down in the personalization settings.
The fix requires approximately 42 minutes for the dealership to complete.
This hands-free power liftgate issue occurs when the affected Cadillac XT4 enters “full sleep” mode. The feature switches off in personalization settings without informing the owner. The fix requires no parts; dealership personnel just reprogram the body control module.
Technicians use the GM Global Warranty Management system to verify the XT4 is marked as Open on the Investigate Vehicle History screen before applying the software fix. Owners of an affected vehicle can get the fix at any time during the crossover’s basic warranty period. Since it only applies to the newest model, owners have plenty of time to get it sorted out. Owners of the pre-facelift XT4 don’t have to worry about this issue.
As a reminder, the 2024 Cadillac XT4 is fully refreshed, with revised exterior styling, interior design, and new tech features. The exterior gets front fascia changes and two new grille finishes. Inside, the overhauled cockpit boasts a 33-inch, 9K-resolution LED color touchscreen. It’s enhanced by an available 14-speaker audio system from AKG. Also featured is 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability and support for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
Motivation for the 2024 XT4 comes from the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY engine producing 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine carries over from the previous model year and is paired with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission. Both FWD and AWD drivetrain configurations are offered to put the power to the pavement.
The refreshed 2024 Cadillac XT4 was one of 10 GM models among North American Car of the Year candidates and one of six GM vehicles in the 2024 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year category.
The 2024 Cadillac XT4 production started on April 24th at the GM Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City. The online configurator tool is live for the 2024 XT4.

The fix is in.
More gm issues that can’t be fixed by over the air updates. Because they don’t trust doing them and cause more problems. So More wasted time sitting in the service department waiting room.
Is the hands free lift gate standard on all models or is it an option in what package ?
