Cadillac has issued a product safety recall on 2021 model year XT5 and XT6 crossovers that involves the possibility of improperly secured fuel supply lines due to an error during the manufacturing process.
The problem: fuel supply lines in affected vehicles may not have been manufactured to the correct dimensional specification. The problem affects Cadillac XT5 and XT6 models that are equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine (production code LGX).
