This recall affects 2014-2015 Cadillac CTS-V Sport vehicles equipped with 3.6L Twin Turbo V6 engines, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The roll pins in the rear-axle differential on the recalled Cadillacs may fracture, NHTSA said. If the roll pins fracture while the vehicle is in motion, the rear wheels may lock up and the driver can lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash and serious personal injury.
General Motors is notifying owners and dealers will repair or replace the rear-axle differential, free of charge. This recall began on March 9, 2020.

Cadillac CTS Airbag Recall
On July 2, 2014, General Motors notified the NHTSA that the company was recalling approximately 554,328 model year 2003-2014 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured August 16, 2001, to April 28, 2014, and 2004-2006 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured March 20, 2003, to August 11, 2006.
In the recalled vehicles, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions could cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
This defect could cause the airbag system to malfunction. Until a repair can be performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable) should also be removed from the key ring.
