General Motors is recalling tens of thousands of Cadillac vehicles due to a video display issue that could increase the risk of crash, according to a notice posted this week by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Detroit-based automaker reported to the NHTSA late last month that the video display on some Lyriq models may fail, resulting in a blank screen and a subsequent loss of view of the speedometer, warning lights and rearview camera, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
As of May 29, when GM reported the recall to the NHTSA, the automaker had not reported any deaths or injuries in connection to the issue.
Here's what to know about the recall, including which years are affected and how to remedy the issue.
The recall affects 41,376 vehicles in the following models:
The video display control module software can be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge, the NHTSA recall notice said.
Notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners by July 14.
Owners can contact Cadillac at 1-800-333-4223. The number for this recall is N252500680.
Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
