2010 Cadillac SRX

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the adjustable rear toe link may not have been properly tightened during a previous service repair. As a result, the toe link could loosen and eventually separate. This could cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability. 
Note: You may notice the following warning symptoms if a rear toe link is loose: 
- sway or wander while driving; 
- loud metallic or other unusual noise from the rear suspension; 
- the steering wheel may be off-center; 
- the Stabilitrak malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may stay on or flash while driving; 
- Uneven wear between the rear tires.
If you detect these symptoms, you should stop driving and have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Action: 
General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the adjustable rear toe links with a newly designed part.

On certain vehicles, the rear suspension toe link jam nuts may not have been tightened to specification. If the vehicle is operated in this condition, the toe link nuts could loosen and eventually separate, allowing the rear wheel to turn inboard or outboard.  If this were to happen, sudden changes in vehicle handling could occur, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and ensure the rear suspension toe link nuts are tightened to specification. If required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.

On certain vehicles equipped with power height adjustable front seats, a bolt securing the adjuster mechanism may loosen and fall out. This would cause the seat to drop to the lowest vertical adjustment position, which could affect the driver's ability to safety operate vehicle controls as well as cause reduced driver visibility. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the bolt.

On certain vehicles, the transmission shift cable may have been improperly installed during vehicle assembly.  If the cable separates from the transmission, the driver would be unable to shift in or out of gear.  As such, the shift lever could be moved into the PARK position while the transmission is still in the last used gear before detachment.  If the driver leaves the vehicle without engaging the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away.  A rollaway vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, correct the transmission shift cable installation.

On certain vehicles, processing of the crimp during manufacture of the power steering pressure line may have damaged the line.  If the line was damaged, a power steering fluid leak may develop.  If there is a sufficient amount of fluid loss, the driver will hear noise from the power steering pump and increased effort may be required for steering.  If power steering fluid flows onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur which may result in property damage or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering line on vehicles equipped with a 2.8L engine (LAU). Dealers will also inspect, and if necessary replace the power steering line on vehicles equipped with a 3.0L engine (LF1).
