The short answer
NHTSA received General Motors, LLC’s report on Sep 24, 2026. Copied from NHTSA on Nov 1, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Cadillac OPTIQ vehicles.
When closed using the key fob’s express-up function, the front windows may fail to detect an obstruction and reverse direction.
As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, “Power-Operated Window Systems.”
