The Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq recall covers 406 vehicles in Australia after a braking software fault was identified. If you own one, check its VIN against the official notice and arrange the free dealer repair. If you are buying one, ask for evidence that the recall work has been completed.
What the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq recall covers
The Australian Government recall notice lists Lyriq and Vistiq vehicles from 2024 to 2026, with all variants within the listed models covered by the campaign. It identifies 406 affected vehicles, rather than every Cadillac on the road.
The recall number is REC-006762 and the campaign number is N26-2570900. The notice was originally published on 9 November and updated on 12 November 2026. These details were checked on 14 November 2026.
The fault concerns low-speed braking
According to the official defect and hazard description, a software issue in the Brake System Control Module can cause a temporary loss of braking at low speeds. Braking function returns when the pedal is pressed again.
That describes the fault, rather than a reason to leave it unresolved. The notice warns that reduced braking performance can increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to occupants or other road users.
Arrange the remedy through an authorised dealer
The consumer instructions in the recall say General Motors Australia will contact affected owners to arrange an appointment with an authorised dealer. Rectification is free of charge.
For questions about your vehicle or arranging the work, the notice lists the Cadillac Customer Communications Centre on 1800 223 455. Ask the dealer for guidance specific to your vehicle before your next journey; do not use a test drive to try to reproduce the fault.
Check the individual car before you buy
Use this checklist before agreeing to buy a Lyriq or Vistiq:
- Match the car's VIN to the list attached to the government notice. - Ask the seller whether campaign N26-2570900 has been completed. - Request the dealer's completion record, rather than relying on a verbal assurance. - If the work remains outstanding, agree who will arrange it and confirm completion before handover.
Keep recall completion separate from questions about your purchase protections. Our used-car warranty and cooling-off guide helps you prepare those questions.
