What is being recalled

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy.

Why it is dangerous

If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear drive shaft assembly, free of charge. General Motors distributed an interim letter to owners on August 27, 2014. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14233.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 14V-341 when calling a dealer.
