Cadillac EVs Recalled For Missing Or Loose Battery Bolts

The affected vehicles, produced at General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing facility in Tennessee, may have loose or missing bolts securing the battery pack to the floor, GM confirmed.

According to NHTSA documents, all twelve of the bolts that attach the high-voltage battery to the vehicle’s interior floor were loose. GM determined that the vehicle underwent a repair during the assembly process that required replacing the high-voltage battery. GM identified 56 other vehicles that had similar repairs performed by the same third-party vendor, prompting a formal recall.

The question not answered here: why did 57 electric Cadillacs need their high-voltage battery replaced before even leaving the factory?

The recall affects 26 units of the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq built between March 10 and March 17, 2025, and 27 units of the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq assembled between March 7 and March 17, 2025. GM has not reported any accidents, injuries, or customer complaints linked to the issue.

Owners will be contacted by mail no later than September 8, 2025. Dealers will inspect the battery attachments and retorque or replace the bolts free of charge. Vehicle identification numbers (VINs) for the affected crossovers became searchable in GM’s system on July 24, 2025.

To prevent future issues, Spring Hill Manufacturing introduced new rework procedures and retrained repair personnel as of May 14, 2025, with additional confirmation steps added in June.

The Lyriq, Cadillac’s midsize electric SUV, currently offers up to 326 miles of EPA-rated range in its standard configuration and 615 horsepower in the performance-focused Lyriq-V variant, capable of sprinting to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Meanwhile, the larger three-row Vistiq can travel up to 305 miles per charge and accelerate to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds when its Velocity Max mode is engaged.

Both models are part of Cadillac’s push to expand its all-electric portfolio.
