Cadillac XT5 Recalls (2017-2025)
The Cadillac XT5 has been the subject of 15 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2017 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the fuel system, air bags, and power train.
The Cadillac XT5 scores 49 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 80% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 33% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 15 campaigns span 7 model years of the Cadillac XT5. The single largest affected 95,231 vehicles, over back over prevention. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common XT5 problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Cadillac XT5 may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
