Cadillac Seville Recalls
Summary
Certain passenger vehicles were built with missing or under-torqued steering gear attachment bolts. If a bolt is missing, the driver may notice uneven steering response or unusual noises during turns. If the left bolt is missing and the right mounting strap fails, steering control is lost and a vehicle crash could result. Correction: Dealers will inspect the vehicles for presence and proper torque of both steering gear bolts
Summary
Certain vehicles may have internal fluid leaks in the brake hydraulic control unit. When the rear brake proportioning, antilock brake, traction control, or stability control feature is activated in some driving situations, the feature may not perform as designed and the driver could lose vehicle control. Correction: ABS hydraulic modulator unit will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the crankshaft position sensors may fail and cause an intermittent engine chuggle, stall or possible long starting crank time and/or a no-start condition, as well as illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Correction: Dealers will replace both crankshaft position sensors.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a rectifier bridge short may develop in the generator even when the engine is off. The electrical short could cause an engine compartment fire that could spread to the rest of the vehicle. Correction: Dealers will replace the generator on affected vehicles.
Summary
THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF ONE OR BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS IF THE VEHICLE INTERIOR HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ENOUGH WATER TO SOAK THE CARPET AND ENTER THE SDM (WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT). CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL APPLY A SEALER TO THE SDM TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION.

CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER WHICH CONTAINS THE MICROPROCESSOR ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Summary
Certain vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the electronic brake control module or the electronic brake and traction control module may cause the antilock brake system (ABS) to cycle during a non-ABS application. This may result in an increase in stopping distance and a possible vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the electronic brake control module.
Summary
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.9 LITRE ENGINES. AN INCORRECT ENRICHMENT CALIBRATION TO THE FUELING STRATEGY OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS BEING USED MAY RESULT IN NON COMPLIANCE WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS.
