Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2004 model year Cadillac CTS, CTS-V, and SRX
vehicles. An interaction between the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) and the vehicle's electrical system in these vehicles may cause the driver's
frontal airbag and/or roof-mounted side impact airbag to deploy when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. A person positioned for driving may
receive minor injuries such as abrasions from contact with a deploying airbag.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the SDM.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2004 model year Cadillac CTS, CTS-V, and SRX vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints shown
Important:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) prior to beginning recall repairs. [Not all vehicles within
the above breakpoints may be involved.]
