- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2026-2027 Cadillac Vistiq vehicles. When the power fold feature is activated, the third-row power seatback may fail to reverse when enountering a person.
- What it can cause
- A person, especially a child, may be trapped by a rear powered seatback, increasing their risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will disable the third-row folding feature until parts are available. Once available, the seat module will be replaced. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 6, 2026. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223. The manufacturer's number for this recall is N262555780. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on June 18, 2026.
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 14,540 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2026 to 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Cadillac vehicles have been recalled over the seats 10 times before this, most recently in March 2025 as 25V193000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 20 complaints with NHTSA, 12 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the seats, 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: 26V114000 (equipment), 25V819000 (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 June 18, 2026 as campaign 26V394000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
