What's wrong?
On the 2025-2026 Cadillac Vistiq and Lyriq, the high-voltage battery pack is the large traction battery mounted to the underbody and tied into the interior floor structure. Its attachment bolts clamp the battery housing to the body so the pack stays fixed while the vehicle accelerates, brakes, and travels over rough pavement.
The problem is with those interior attachment bolts, not the battery cells. During an in-plant battery replacement, a third-party vendor did not properly reinstall the bolts on some vehicles, leaving certain bolts missing or loose. A battery pack that is not fully fastened is not secured as Cadillac designed it.
An owner will not have a reliable cabin clue that the bolts are loose. There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is found by inspection, with the dealer checking the battery attachments and installing or tightening the affected bolts to the proper torque.
Who's affected?
The Vistiq and Lyriq share the same high-voltage traction battery underbody bolt issue in this campaign.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician inspects the bolts that attach the high voltage battery to the interior floor. If bolts are missing or loose, the technician replaces them or tightens them as needed. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the covered vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
