Chronology :

GM opened an investigation into the subject condition on March 15, 2022, after a quality engineer at GM’s Spring Hill assembly plant identified a Cadillac XT6 at the plant with a missing toe link-to-knuckle bolt in the vehicle’s left side rear suspension. While the supplier’s manufacturing records indicated that the bolt had been fully tightened, further investigation determined that the supplier’s error-proofing equipment had been improperly configured following a change in the assembly process. As a result—and under a specific set of circumstances—the tool operator could have failed to fully tighten the subject bolt without detection by the error-proofing equipment.

GM’s investigator worked with GM’s assembly plant personnel to define the potentially affected population. Inspection of 271 suspect suspensions that had been contained at the plant identified six additional instances of loose fasteners. GM’s investigator’s review of field data, completed on June 6, 2022, identified no claims or complaints related to the subject condition. GM is also not aware of any associated accidents or injuries.

On June 9, 2022, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall.
