Cadillac recalls 94 2026 Vistiq electric vehicles because the electronic owner's manual may not download

The radio may not have been set correctly during production to download the electronic owner's manual, so owners may not know how to safely use the vehicle, which raises the risk of injury in a crash.

What to do

Dealers will reset the vehicle radio so the electronic owner's manual downloads automatically, free of charge. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223.
