What's wrong?
The brake fluid reservoir cap on the 2022 Cadillac XT6 sits on top of the master brake cylinder reservoir. That reservoir holds the fluid the brake system uses to build hydraulic pressure when you press the pedal. The cap is also supposed to carry the required brake-fluid warning label, which tells an owner or technician to use the correct fluid and handle the reservoir correctly.
On affected XT6 vehicles, GM installed brake fluid reservoir caps intended for other global regions on vehicles built for sale in the United States. Those caps are missing the warning label required by FMVSS 135. The brake reservoir and master cylinder assembly still perform their normal job, but the cap does not provide the required safety information at the point where brake fluid is checked or added.
There is no warning sign before failure. This recall is a labeling noncompliance, so an owner will not feel a brake-pedal change from the missing label alone.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
A missing warning label can lead to debris contaminating the brake fluid, reducing brake performance and increasing the risk of a crash. Drive cautiously and schedule the reservoir cap inspection soon, especially if brake feel changes. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Cadillac XT6 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cadillac dealer to schedule the free brake-fluid-reservoir-cap inspection and replacement if needed; the cap label helps prevent brake-fluid contamination.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 22V392 when you call.
- Keep debris away from the brake fluid reservoir and avoid adding brake fluid until the dealer inspects the cap.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician inspects the brake fluid reservoir cap and replaces the cap if the required warning label is missing. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. GM says all covered vehicles are under warranty, so there is no separate reimbursement program for this campaign. If you already paid for related work, ask the Cadillac service desk how the existing warranty applies to that prior repair paperwork.
