What's wrong?
The 2015 Cadillac Cts and Ats use a brake pedal bracket as part of the linkage between your foot and the service brakes. That bracket sits between the brake pedal assembly and the rod that actuates the brakes. When you press the pedal, the bracket helps transfer pedal force into the braking system so the vehicle slows as intended.
On affected vehicles, that bracket can fracture during normal brake pedal use. GM traced the problem to a supplier machine that had a mechanical failure after incompatible raw materials were used in the machine. A fractured bracket can interrupt the mechanical connection between the pedal and the brake actuator rod, which can leave the service brakes unable to respond correctly.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue found during assembly-plant testing happened when the bracket broke during brake operation, so an owner should not count on a noise, light, or change in pedal feel first.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the bracket fractures, the brake pedal cannot apply the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash. Until the inspection is complete, avoid extra trips and schedule service soon. If braking feels abnormal, stop when safe and call a Cadillac dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Cadillac Cts or Ats is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cadillac dealer to schedule the free brake-pedal bracket inspection and replacement, which fixes the bracket that can fracture and stop the brakes from applying.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 15V358 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, leave extra following distance, and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician inspects the brake pedal assembly area and checks the bracket between the brake pedal assembly and the brake actuator rod. If the bracket is affected, the technician replaces it. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the involved vehicles are covered under that warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
