1. 14V542000Received 9 Sep 2014. 10,005 units.

   Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V vehicles manufactured October 6, 2003, to March 15, 2007, and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V vehicles manufactured June 23, 2005, to March 15, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the electrical terminals of the fuel pump module may overheat resulting in the melting of the flange material.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the flange melts, a hole may be created allowing the fuel pump to leak fuel, causing the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, free of charge. GM sent out interim notices in late October. The recall began on March 12, 2015. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14405.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 14405. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Mar 2015.

2. 14V394000Received 2 Jul 2014. 554,328 units.

   Electrical System / Ignition

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 2, 2014 that they are recalling 554,328 model year 2003-2014 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured August 16, 2001, to April 28, 2014, and 2004-2006 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured March 20, 2003, to August 11, 2006. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2014. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14172.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 14172. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 Sep 2014.

3. 10V644000Received 17 Dec 2010. 95,927 units.

   Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   General motors is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 cadillac cts vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which repeated flexing of the passenger sensing system mat in the front passenger seat may cause the mat to kink, bend, or fold. This flexing can break the connections in the mat. If this occurs, the sensor may not detect the presence of a front seat passenger and will disable the air bag.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Non-deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash necessitating that air bag's deployment may reduce protection of the passenger and increase the risk or severity of injury to them.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the passenger sensing system free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about march 15, 2011. Owners may contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463 and at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.

   Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 100355. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 24 Mar 2011.

4. 10V105000Received 17 Mar 2010. 139,131 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the front brake hose fitting at the caliper may corrode due to snow or water, containing road salt or other contaminants, entering and being retained in the routing sleeve. If the fitting corrodes significantly, the brake hose-tube interface may develop a leak.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The brake hose-tube interface may rupture suddenly without prior warning and increase vehicle stopping distance may occur increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers are to replace both front brake hose assemblies free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during may 2010. Owners may contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339 or at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.

5. 07V589000Received 20 Dec 2007. 275,936 units.

   Power Train / Axle Assembly / Axle Shaft / Seal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain passenger vehicles, the rear axle pinion seal does not meet all of the specifications and may experience a fluid leak.

   Structure / Body / Roof and Pillars

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 118, 'power operated window, partition, and roof panel systems.' under the standard, the sunroof may only be closed when the ignition is on, or after the ignition is turned off, but before either of the front doors are opened. The affected vehicles may exhibit a condition where the sunroof can be closed after the ignition is turned off and the doors are opened.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record
