General Cadillac Vistiq recall: The bolts attaching the high voltage battery to the interior floor

Recall published 1+ years ago

The bolts attaching the high voltage battery to the interior floor may be missing or loose.

The hazard: Fuel leak or fire risk

The recall addresses a leak or overheating component that can ignite. Where the notice says park outside, that wording is deliberate.

What the notice says: An improperly secured battery may become damaged in a crash, increasing the risk of a fire.

Why it matters: The vehicle may leak fuel, or a component may overheat enough to start a fire. Several of these campaigns involve a fire risk while the vehicle is parked and switched off, which is why the parking instructions matter.

What to do about Fuel / fire

General — The recall addresses a leak or overheating component that can ignite. Where the notice says park outside, that wording is deliberate.

  1. Read the risk note above carefully. If it says to park outdoors and away from buildings, do that tonight — the fire can start with the engine off and the key indoors.
  2. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you do anything else. A campaign covers a build range, not every car of that model year, and the VIN lookup is the only thing that confirms yours is included.
  3. Call any franchised dealer for the brand, give them the campaign number from this page, and ask them to confirm parts are in stock before you book — part supply, not labour, is what delays a fresh recall.
  4. If you smell fuel, see a leak under the car or notice smoke or a burning smell, stop driving it and have it towed.

Getting the repair booked and paid for

The money side of a vehicle recall is simple. The scheduling side is where people lose weeks.

  • Ask whether the parts are physically in stock before you accept a date. A booking without parts is a wasted morning.
  • If you get nowhere, file at nhtsa.gov. Complaints tied to an open campaign number carry weight.
  • If the dealer says the remedy is not yet available, ask to be put on their notification list and get that in writing by email.
  • Where the manufacturer has issued an interim measure — park outside, do not drive, a software limiter — follow it until the full remedy is done.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will inspect the high-voltage battery bolts and replace or re-tighten the bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed September 8, 2025. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223. GM's number for this recall is N252511300.
