DEFECT #1 - VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 2015-07-24
Description
General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 cadillac ats vehicles manufactured april 25, 2012, to june 25, 2015. The affected vehicles may experience the roof panel closing automatically when the non-recessed switches are pressed and the roof panel is open. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 118, power-operated window, partition, and roof panel systems.
Consequence
Because the switch is not recessed, the roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed resulting in unintended auto-closure of the roof panel, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Corrective Action
Gm will notify owners and dealers will replace the roof console accessory switch trim plate, free of charge. The recall began on august 19, 2015. Owners may contact cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. Gm's number for this recall is 15568. Note this recall supersedes 15v-106.
