On certain passenger vehicles equipped with all wheel drive and a 3.6 liter V-6 engine, the torque monitoring functions of the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) are not enabled. These functions can limit engine speed and torque if unusual Engine Control Module (ECM) hardware or software failures occur.

Without these functions enabled, a persistent ECM failure could result in a throttle opening greater than commanded by the driver and a crash could occur.

Dealers will reprogram the ECM on these vehicles free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 24, 2006. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.

Certain vehicles equipped with V-6 engines may have a condition where fuel is no longer supplied to the engine. This condition occurs without the illumination of the fuel level low indicator light or the warning chime.

If the engine stops running, the operator will not be able to restart the vehicle which could increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will reprogram the electronic control module (ECM) with new software free of charge. Owners were notified in December 2005 and asked to maintain at least 1/4 of a tank fuel level to avoid this condition until the parts are available. The recall is expected to begin during March 2006. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.
