What’s the Problem?
This recall affects Cadillac XT5 and XT6 vehicles from model year 2020, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The diffuser component of the Roof-Rail Air Bag (RRAB) inflator on affected Cadillacs may not have been properly crimped to the inflator and could separate from the inflator during air bag deployment, NHTSA said. If the diffuser separates from the inflator during deployment, RRAB performance may be degraded, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
