What's wrong?
The front stabilizer bar on the 2023-2025 Cadillac Lyriq is part of the front suspension. It helps control body roll by linking the left and right sides of the suspension, so the vehicle stays more settled during turns and uneven road movement. Bracket bolts hold that bar assembly tight to the vehicle frame.
On affected Lyriq vehicles, the tool used at the factory to tighten those bracket bolts had a software logic error. That error left some left or right front stabilizer bar bracket bolts below the required tightness. As the vehicle is driven, an under-tightened bolt can loosen and separate from the frame. If the bracket loses its bolts, the stabilizer bar or bracket can detach and hit nearby high voltage cables or EV battery coolant lines.
Occupants can notice a clunk or rattle while driving. Treat that sound as a warning sign that the stabilizer bar hardware needs dealer inspection.

What's the safety risk?
Damage to cables or coolant lines can shut the vehicle down while driving. That means loss of drive power and a higher crash risk. A clunk or rattle while driving is a warning sign, so schedule the inspection promptly and drive cautiously until it is fixed. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2025 Cadillac Lyriq is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cadillac dealer to schedule the free stabilizer bar bracket bolt inspection and tightening, which keeps loose brackets from damaging high voltage cables or EV battery coolant lines.
- Bring the recall notice if Cadillac mailed one, or reference recall number 25V232 when you call.
- Avoid driving farther than needed until the dealer completes the repair, and stop safely if the vehicle loses drive power.
- Call Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223 with questions about scheduling.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician inspects the left and right front stabilizer bar bracket bolts and tightens any bracket bolts that need it. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered by Cadillac. Reimbursement is handled through the existing vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the covered Lyriq vehicles are still under warranty. If you have paperwork for a prior stabilizer bar bracket repair, ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies to that repair.
