Cadillac bulletin N23-241926

What it says'(There may be future updates under this same release number.)​ Your Cadillac keeps getting better. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Cadillac filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 18, 2023, received Oct 5, 2023, about the back over prevention — 2 documents under this number. It names 2 model years (2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Cadillac N23-241926 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the N23-241926 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every GM warranty extension on file lists the ones GM has filed.

Which vehicles does N23-241926 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2023 Cadillac CT4, 2023 Cadillac CT5. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
