- The defect
- General Motors is recalling certain 2026 Cadillac Vistiq electric vehicles. The radio may not have been set to the correct status to download the electronic owner's manual during production. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, “Child Restraint Anchorage Systems.”
- What it can cause
- Without an owner's manual to consult, owners may not know how to safely use and operate the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reset the vehicle radio which will facilitate automatic download of the electronic owner’s manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 30, 2025. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223. The manufacturer's number for this recall is A252516680. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on November 25, 2025.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 94 vehicles this is a small campaign: 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Cadillac vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 10 times before this, most recently in May 2025 as 25V356000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 20 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V394000 (seats), 26V114000 (equipment), 25V483000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on November 25, 2025 as campaign 25V819000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
