Cadillac XT4 Service Update Released For Missing Spare Tire Retainer

Posted on

Cadillac has issued a service update for select units of the Cadillac XT4 luxury crossover that shipped without retainers for either the factory tire inflator or the factory spare wheel and tires, depending on the vehicle’s equipment list.

Problem: some 2022 Cadillac XT4s were mistakenly shipped from the assembly plant to dealers without retainers for either the tire inflator or the spare tire.

The danger: a missing tire inflator or spare tire retainer is not an immediate risk to the occupants of the vehicle. However, a missing retainer could result in the tire inflator or spare tire not being properly mounted to the vehicle, potentially causing it to slide while the vehicle is moving, which is not ideal. Retainers must be installed to ensure that the inflator or reserve does not move.

Repair: a dealer technician will inspect the XT4 to determine whether it shipped with a restraint or not. If necessary, a retainer for the inflator or spare will be installed at no cost to the vehicle owner.
