Cadillac Lyriq Recalls by Year
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq has been included in at least five official recalls by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Many of these concerns appear to be linked to both software and hardware malfunctions, with specific complaints about radio failures and malfunctioning rear-seat A/C vents.
The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq hasn’t been immune to problems either. Owners have reported a range of issues, including malfunctioning door handles, A/C and heater vent problems, false emergency braking activations, and various software-related glitches.
So far, three recalls have been issued for the 2024 model. Additionally, drivers have complained about the backup camera screen intermittently going black and unexpected braking while in reverse due to faulty collision alerts.

Causes of Recent Cadillac Lyriq Recalls
Several recent safety-related recalls have impacted the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq, addressing potentially serious issues:
- Brake Pressure Release: A defect in the braking system may cause an unintended release of brake pressure, which could reduce braking performance and increase the risk of an accident.
- Loss of Drive Power: Defects in the electric propulsion system can lead to a sudden loss of drive power, creating a potential hazard while driving.
- Seat Belt Bracket Defect: Some vehicles were found to have improperly welded seat belt brackets, which may fail to restrain occupants properly during a collision, raising the risk of injury.
If you own a Cadillac Lyriq, we recommend verifying whether your vehicle is affected by any of these recalls.
You can do this by visiting the NHTSA recall check website and entering your 17-digit VIN. Be sure to also contact your local Cadillac service center to schedule any necessary repairs and ensure your vehicle’s safety.
Other Common Cadillac Lyriq Problems
In addition to official recalls, many Cadillac Lyriq owners have reported a variety of recurring issues that impact day-to-day usability and overall satisfaction:
- Electrical System Issues: Problems with both the high-voltage battery and the 12V battery have been reported, including charging failures and unexpected loss of power.
- Fit and Finish Defects: Some owners have noted loose interior panels, detached seat cushions, and defective chrome trim—especially around the front of the vehicle.
- Door Handle Malfunctions: There have been reports of inconsistent door handle performance, including issues with doors not opening or closing properly.
- Climate Control Problems: Owners have cited malfunctioning rear A/C and heater vents, which can lead to discomfort for passengers.
These recurring problems have caused frustration for some Lyriq owners, with a number of them pursuing refunds or vehicle buybacks under warranty or lemon law protections.
