NHTSA recall 11V536000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles may have a condition in which the power vacuum brake boost pushrod retention nut may not be torqued to the proper specification. If the nut is not torqued to the proper specification, the nut could loosen and allow the pushrod to separate from the brake pedal.
Why it matters: This could result in a loss of ability to brake and a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The fix: Cadillac dealers will inspect the power vacuum brake boost pushrod retention nut, and if necessary, torque the nut to the proper specification. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on November 1, 2011.
