I may have fallen in love with the Cadillac ATS when I reviewed it a few weeks ago, but my praises don’t prevent a car from having issues. Edmunds is now reporting that the Cadillac ATS will soon be subject to a national recall for the car’s sunroof. GM has confirmed the recall is happening, but there has yet to be an official notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall itself covers the switch to operate the sunroof, and not actually the panel itself. If you are an owner, and start sweating about a leaky sunroof, you have nothing to worry about. The problem with the switch stems from the amount of force necessary to operate the closing mechanism. If even partially depressed, the sunroof will close. While hardly a real problem, that switch does not meet the government mandated safety standard for activation pressure, and so it must be fixed.
Once the recall passes through all the regulatory necessities to become official, GM will begin notifying the owners who own a model with the suspected defect. If you own one of the nearly 67,000 affected vehicles, a quick a trip to a dealer will see a new trim plate installed for the switch that should correct the issue, but wait until you get your letter. If you are buying a new ATS, the car will be repaired before it is allowed to leave the dealer lot.
