General Motors has issued a Noncompliance Recall for select units of the 2024 Cadillac XT5 and the 2025 Cadillac XT5, along with the 2024 Cadillac XT6 and 2025 Cadillac XT6, for a blank instrument cluster resulting from damaged components.

“General Motors has initiated a voluntary non-compliance recall of certain model year 2024-2025 Cadillac XT5s and model year 2024-2025 XT6s for instrument panel cluster operation that does not conform to federal vehicle standards,” a GM representative informed GM Authority, adding, “The safety and satisfaction of our customers are our highest priorities and we’re working to remedy this matter as quickly as possible.”

The problem: Affected Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 units, and those of other affected model years may have a condition in which the instrument cluster display is blank and cannot be programmed, per Noncompliance Recall notice N242447941.

The hazards: If this issue has occurred, the affected Cadillac XT5 or XT6 unit already has damage to the instrument panel cluster. The cluster cannot be programmed using a USB drive in this case.

Multiple hazards can result if the instrument cluster is blank. These may include failure to activate turn signals, warning flashers, and/or high-beam headlights. Conversely, these signals, flashers, and/or headlights may be switched on without the driver’s knowledge. The absent or incorrect visual info provided to other drivers or pedestrians could result in increased chances of an accident.

The fix: Certified GM technicians will be ordered to inspect potentially affected 2024 through 2025 Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 vehicles to see if the blank instrument cluster is present. If the instrument cluster is not yet blank, it is not damaged, and service personnel should reprogram it with the correct, updated software. The radio must also be updated. In this instance, no new parts are required.

However, if the instrument cluster is blank, it is damaged and cannot be reprogrammed. The instrument cluster must be replaced with new components. Since no new components are currently available, the recalled vehicles cannot be repaired and must be held until parts are made available and the bulletin is updated.

Affected components: Driver Info Cluster Multi-Color Enhanced Graphic Display Instrument (RPO code UHS).

Affected vehicles: 

2024 Cadillac XT5
2025 Cadillac XT5
2024 Cadillac XT6
2025 Cadillac XT6

Number of affected vehicles: The current number of affected vehicles in the United States is currently about 6,870 units. This total includes approximately 4,360 model-year 2024 through 2025 Cadillac XT6 crossovers and approximately 2,510 model-year 2024 through 2025 Cadillac XT5 crossovers.

Owners should: General Motors will notify owners of affected 2024 Cadillac XT5 crossovers and other involved vehicles with instructions on how to make an appointment with their local GM dealer.
