The seat in your vehicle has a bracket that holds it in place. In some 2013-2015 models, this bracket might not be welded correctly, which could make the seat shift or come loose during a heavy impact.
Risk if Unfixed
If your seat isn't secured properly in a crash, you could be at risk of injury. A loose seat could also make it harder for the airbag to work correctly.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the weld on the seat bracket and replace the lower seat track if necessary, all for free. You should contact your dealer now to confirm repair availability and schedule the repair.

Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Cadillac ELR vehicles not equipped with adaptive cruise control and manufactured September 26, 2013, through February 14, 2014, and equipped without adaptive cruise control.
