09- Other#2026086
1,255 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the owner's manual may be missing. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Note: For the Escalade model, the recall also affects certain 2026 model year Escalade IQ and Escalade IQL models. Safety Risk: A missing owner's manual could cause confusion on how to safely operate the vehicle and increase the risk of injury or a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install the owner's manual.
- Lights And Instruments#2024678
7,456 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the brake lamps may flash during certain braking events when the antilock braking system (ABS) is activated. Canadian regulations require the brake lamps to stay on constantly while braking. Safety Risk: Brake lamps that don't work properly could create confusion and cause others not to recognize when a vehicle is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module software.
- Accessories#2024451
7,147 units affected
Issue: This recall is for certain all-weather floor liners that were installed before delivery or sold as a dealer accessory. On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal could get stuck under the floor liner. If this happens, the vehicle may not slow down when you release the accelerator pedal. Safety Risk: A stuck accelerator pedal could cause an unintended acceleration and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, General Motors advises you to check for interference with the accelerator pedal and to remove the driver's all-weather floor liner until the recall repairs have been completed. General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, modify and/or reimburse the driver's all-weather floor liner.
- Lights And Instruments#2024060
273,306 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the lower beam headlamps not to turn on as it becomes dark outside if the multi-function switch is in the "OFF" or "PARKING LAMP" position. This could also cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to turn off when the vehicle is moving. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: Headlamps and/or DRLs that don't turn on could reduce visibility, make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM)software.
- Lights And Instruments#2022700
85,685 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the daytime running lamps (DRLs) may stay on when the headlamps are on. Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the headlamps are on. Safety Risk: Daytime running lamps that stay on could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM) software.
- Airbag#2021348
16,400 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the airbag warning light not to turn on when there is a fault in the airbag system. As a result, a driver might not be alerted of the problem and the airbags may not work properly in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag system that does not work properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to each vehicle. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.
- Seats And Restraints#2017307
56 units affected
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 202 - Head Restraints. The optional Universal Tablet Holder accessory may have been incorrectly installed on front seat head restraints, which may prevent the head restraint posts from fully engaging in the seat back. A head restraint that is not fully engaged in the seat back could loosen and dislodge, or inadvertently move to an undesired height which may provide insufficient head and neck support, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a crash, and would fail to comply with the requirements of the standard. Correction: Dealers will inspect the head restraints and tablet holders for correct installation and reinstall if necessary. General Motors will also mail corrected installation instructions to customers who purchased the Universal Tablet Holder over the counter for installation on their own vehicles.
- Brakes#2016637
4 units affected
On certain vehicles, the master cylinder brake lines may crack and develop a leak. Loss of brake fluid from one brake line may result in reduced vehicle braking performance, and a complete loss of brake fluid from both lines may result in a loss of braking capability. This would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake lines.
- Label#2016349
300 units affected
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The combined weight of occupants and cargo, as displayed on the Tire and Loading Information label, does not meet the requirements of the Standard. As such, the vehicle could be unwittingly overloaded, which would result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install an updated Tire and Loading Information label with the correct maximum combined weight of 432 kg (952 lbs).
