AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
An inflator rupture may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
3 safety recall campaigns, 19 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
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.
An inflator rupture may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Brake pads that remain partially engaged with the rotors may cause excessive brake heat that may result in a fire.
Two 2015 CADILLAC XTSs 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.
