VISIBILITY Safety Recalls

Moderate #15V558000 Plain English
Component

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The rear defogger in your ATS sedan is controlled by a small coil that powers it. It's possible that this coil could get too hot if it's used a lot or stays on too long.
Risk if Unfixed
If the coil gets too hot, it could catch fire, which could cause a serious accident or injury.
Free Fix
Your Cadillac dealer will update the system so the rear defogger only turns on when you want it to, not automatically. This fix is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

In the affected vehicles, the coil antenna module that powers the rear defogger system may generate excessive heat due to excessive cycling or continuous operation.
Original — Risk if Unfixed

Moderate #15V463000 Plain English
Component

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The sunroof switch in your ATS is the part that controls whether the roof is open or closed. In some 2013-2016 models, this switch is not recessed, so it's easy to accidentally press it, even when you don't mean to.
Risk if Unfixed
If the switch is pressed accidentally, the roof panel could close on you while it's open, which could cause cuts or other injuries.
Free Fix
Your Cadillac dealer will replace the switch trim plate with a new one that's recessed, so you won't accidentally close the roof panel. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to June 25, 2015. The affected vehicles may experience the roof panel closing automatically when the non-recessed switches are pressed and the roof panel is open. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Because the switch is not recessed, the roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed resulting in unintended auto-closure of the roof panel, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners and dealers will replace the roof console accessory switch trim plate, free of charge. The recall began on August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 15568. Note this recall supersedes 15V-106.
