SUSPENSION:REAR
A loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory, 1 defect investigation, 493 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
1 campaign covering the 2013 CADILLAC SRX carries NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the toe adjuster link could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
A three to four second lag in acceleration may increase the risk of crash.
If the lug nuts loosen, they may fall off or cause the wheel studs to fracture. Either condition would allow the wheel to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
If engine braking is unexpectedly removed, it may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Two 2013 CADILLAC SRXs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
