Why it was recalled
The problem: an injury risk.
NHTSA's defect summary: “General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Cadillac OPTIQ vehicles. When closed using the key fob's express-up function, the front windows may fail to detect an obstruction and reverse direction. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."”
The consequence, according to NHTSA: “A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.”
