What's wrong?
The instrument panel top pad on the 2025 Cadillac XT4 is the upper dashboard cover in front of the passenger seat. It is designed with a scored line on its underside so the passenger-side air bag has a controlled path through the panel during a crash. That scoring lets the cover split where it is supposed to split.
On affected XT4 vehicles, the underside of the panel cover was not scored correctly because the supplier's scoring machine was not adjusted properly after maintenance. If the passenger-side air bag deploys, the cover can resist opening or open in the wrong way. That can keep the air bag from deploying as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The dashboard can look normal from inside the vehicle, because the missing or incorrect scoring is on the underside of the cover.
Who's affected?
The issue is tied to the instrument panel top pad, with dashboard structure and frontal air bag components both listed in the recall.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A passenger-side air bag that does not deploy properly gives the front passenger less crash protection and increases the risk of injury in a crash. Schedule the recall repair soon, especially before carrying a front passenger. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.

- Call Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 with questions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician replaces the instrument panel upper cover so the passenger-side air bag has the correct deployment path. The recall repair is available now, and the replacement parts and labor are free. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the vehicles included in this recall are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how that warranty coverage applies to prior repair paperwork.
