GM issued a recall covering 1,022 units of its 2015 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV SUVs in the States, after discovering a problem with the passenger airbag.
The issue at hand is the passenger side instrument panel top cover, which GM says may have been “manufactured using an incorrect spacer fabric, causing a reduction of adhesion between the spacer fabric and the vinyl show surface”. This could result in inconsistent passenger air bag deployment.
As is always the case with these type of recalls, GM dealers will replace the instrument panel top cover, free of charge. However, the automaker has yet to provide a notification schedule for the recall.
If you own one of the affected SUVs and want to know more, you can contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.
