Chronology :

On April 20, 2022, a GM quality engineer submitted a report to GM’s Speak Up for Safety program after receiving a report from an assembly line worker who noticed an incorrect brake fluid reservoir cap on a 2022 model year Cadillac XT6. On April 26, 2022, GM opened a product investigation.

GM’s investigation determined that an incorrect engineering change request resulted in the installation of master brake cylinder assemblies with brake fluid reservoir caps designed to comply with regulations in other global regions into vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States. On May 26, 2022, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a noncompliance recall.
