This complaint concerns the manufacturer's conduct of this recall, not the existence of the defect. A safety recall was issued for 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ vehicles for a third-row power seatback that may fail to reverse when it encounters an occupant.

Component: the third-row power-fold seatback module and its power harness. Available for inspection on request. On [DATE], an authorized Cadillac dealer performed the interim recall remedy by disconnecting the power harness under the cargo floor trim. The Vistiq third row is power-actuated only, with no manual fold mechanism, so disconnecting the harness locks the seats in whatever position they occupy at that moment. I was not asked which position
