My 2026 Cadillac Vistiq is covered by NHTSA Recall 26V394 (GM N262555780), concerning a third-row power-folding seatback that may fail to auto-reverse when it strikes an obstruction, risking entrapment of smaller occupants, particularly children.

I canceled a planned trip from [XXX] to [XXX] because I no longer …
