General Motors is recalling more than 20,000 model year 2009-2010 Cadillac CTS and CTS-V cars to replace glove compartment boxes. The recall was announced after the vehicle failed to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection. Government crash tests found that a front seat passenger not wearing a seat belt could strike the glove box and suffer serious leg injuries in a crash.
General Motors will begin notifying owners of the recall next month, and dealers will replace the glove part assembly at no charge. The GM recall number is N100292. Owners can call Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hot line at 1-888-327-4236, or go to safercar.gov.
Anyone injured in an accident involving a recalled automobile should contact a knowledgeable and experienced defective product lawyer. The California product liability lawyers at Estey Bomberger offer a free, no-obligation consultation to answer your questions and discuss your potential case.
