Certain units of the 2023 and 2024 Cadillac Lyriq have been recalled due to an issue with the rear seat belt brackets.
The problem: affected units of the Cadillac Lyriq may have improperly welded seat belt brackets in the rear seat. Specifically, the bracket that anchors the left-rear and center-rear seat belts may have been improperly welded to the seat frame.

The fix: dealers will replace the rear seat cushion frame, free of charge to Cadillac Lyriq owners. In the meantime, owners are advised not to use the left-rear and center-rear seating positions until the repair is performed.
Affected components: rear seat belt bracket.
