Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Cadillac CTS-V Sport vehicles equipped with 3.6L Twin Turbo V6 engines. The roll pins in the rear-axle differential may fracture.

Risk. If the roll pins fracture while the vehicle is in motion, the rear wheels may lock up and the driver can lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace the rear axle differential, free of charge. The recall began May 1, 2020. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223. GM's number for this recall is N192279370.

UNABLE TO ANSWER AN INCOMING CALL WHEN CONNECTED BY BLUETOOTH: 1.PHONE RINGS THROUGH VEHICLE SPEAKERS (NORMAL) 2.AFTER 2 ' 8 SECONDS THE AUDIBLE, 'YOU HAVE AN INCOMING CALL' IS HEARD. (NORMAL) 3.IF THE CALL HASN'T BEEN ANSWERED AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE SECOND PROMPT 'TO ANSWER A CALL, PUSH YOUR HANDS-FREE CALLING BUTTON' IS PLAYED. 4.FAILURE: NO 'ACCEPT | REJECT' DIALOG IS DISPLAYED WHILE THE PHONE CONTINUES TO RING. PLEASE NOTE: AN INCOMING CALL CANNOT BE ANSWERED BY BUTTON-PRESS OR SCREEN SELECTION UNTIL THE 'ACCEPT | REJECT' DIALOG IS DISPLAYED ON SCREEN. THIS BEHAVIOR IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT IS MORE LIKELY AFTER USING GPS GUIDANCE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM FAILURE THAT CAN OCCUR DURING ANY DRIVING SITUATION. THE VEHICLE IS THE 2015 CTS-V COUPE. THIS IS RELEVANT BECAUSE THIS MODEL HAS THE PRE CUE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. OTHER 2015 CTS AND CTS-V FOUR DOORS HAVE THE CUE SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. ANOTHER VEHICLE OWNER HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT FAILS WITH MY IPHONE 5S AND SE; IT FAILS WITH THE OTHER OWNER'S ANDROID PHONE.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
