DEFECT #1 - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Posted on: 2014-03-27
Description
General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2014 cadillac elr vehicles not equipped with adaptive cruise control and manufactured september 26, 2013, through february 14, 2014, and equipped without adaptive cruise control. In these vehicles, the electronic stability control (esc) system software may inhibit certain esc diagnostics, preventing the system from alerting the driver that the esc system is partially or fully disabled. As such, these vehicles fail to conform with federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 126, electronic stability control systems.
Consequence
If the driver is not alerted to an esc malfunction they may continue driving with a disabled esc system which may result in loss of directional control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Gm will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the electronic brake control module (ebcm), free of charge. The recall began on may 20, 2014. Owners may contact cadillac at 1-800-458-8006. Gm's number for this recall is 14087.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Due to an incomplete weld on the seat hook bracket assembly, the front seats in the affected vehicles may not stay secured in place during a high load condition such as a crash.
Consequence
A seat that does not stay secured increases the risk of occupant injury in a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat hook bracket assembly weld and replace the lower seat track, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on august 15, 2014.
