Vehicles Affected: Approximately 64,000 model-year 2013-16 Cadillac ATS sedans; this is an expansion of a previous recall of model-year 2013-15 ATS sedans for the same problem. The 2016 model year has been added to the new recall, and 70 percent of the vehicles previously recalled are being recalled again, GM reported.
The Problem: The ATS' power roof panel system will automatically close when the nonrecessed portion of the "slide" or "tilt" switch is pressed and the roof panel is open; because these switches are not fully recessed, they can be activated with less force than required by federal rules. A stop-sale has also been ordered on unsold vehicles, the automaker said. GM is unaware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the roof console accessory switch trim plate for free.
What Owners Should Do: GM did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 800-458-8006, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
