Cadillac recalls over 13,000 Vistiq SUVs for faulty third-row seats.
The seats may trap small occupants if it detects obstruction.
Deliveries are stopped while a solution is found.
Cadillac just issued a recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for all 2026 and 2027 model years of its electric Vistiq three-row SUV. Since the Vistiq has only been on the market since the 2026 model year, this recall impacts 100 percent of total production, estimated at 14,540 vehicles built from November 12, 2024 through April 9, 2026 and January 16, 2026 through June 15, 2026.
The recall relates to the Vistiq's power third-row seat, which can fold down with the press-and-release of a button in the trunk or a pillar next to the seat. In some cases, the seat may stop and will not automatically reverse when it encounters an obstacle. According to the NHTSA, "smaller occupants could become trapped under the seatback, increasing the risk of injury."
