Toyota and now GM Recalls First Gen CTS in Cold Weather States Due to Potential Brake Issue
General Motors announced that it will recall “a certain number” of Cadillac CTS sedans due to a brake issue that can lead to seriously increased braking distances. The problem affects 2003 - 2007 model year CTS vehicles (the first generation of the model) in the cold weather states, where the snow or water that contains salt may lead to the corrosion of the front brake caliper’s hose. This would allow impurities to enter the routing sleeve. If the corrosion level exceeds a certain level, the hose tube interface might develop a leak. The process could eventually cause the hose tube interface to suddenly rupture, increasing the vehicle’s braking distance and potentially causing a crash.
