Understanding the CT6 Child Seat Anchorage Recall
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Cadillac parent company GM have identified a manufacturing issue that could compromise child safety seat security in affected vehicles.
Specific Safety Concern
The recall addresses inboard child-seat anchorage bars (also known as LATCH system components) that may have received excessive structural adhesive during assembly. This over-application can:
- Interfere with proper child seat installation
- Prevent secure attachment of LATCH connectors
