Visibility recall

26V-612
September 24, 2026 · General Motors, LLC
Problem
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Cadillac OPTIQ vehicles.

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

September 24, 2026Service Brakes

My 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ experienced two brake-system failures. The second occurred on September 14, 2026. The vehicle displayed brake-system warnings and braking performance was impaired. The vehicle previously received a brake-system-control-module reprogramming in August. The dealer has advised that the master cylinder and brake booster, which are one assembly on this vehicle, may be failing and is consulting Cadillac Engineering. The vehicle is currently at the dealership, and I have been provided a loaner. This incident may relate to NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26006 concerning sudden loss of brake assist in 2025–2026 Cadillac OPTIQ vehicles.

On Friday August 7th, I was driving my 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ Luxury AWD at approximately 25 mph near Byron road in Tracy. While crossing a railroad track under normal driving conditions, both passenger-side tires—the right-front and right-rear—suddenly lost air and sustained sidewall ruptures. I did not strike a pothole, curb, debris, or any other visible object, and no foreign object or tread puncture was found.
