Defect summary

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Cadillac OPTIQ vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."

Safety risk

A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

The body control module (BCM) software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N262567230.
