DATANot crash-tested
The 2019 Cadillac CT6 has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, leaving a significant gap in its safety profile. Without star ratings, a comprehensive Safety Index score cannot be computed. The available federal data indicate a Light recall and complaint burden band. Four recall campaigns have been issued, addressing issues in the powertrain, brakes, exterior lighting, and seat belts. Additionally, 15 unverified owner complaints have been filed, none of which report crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. The lack of crash-test data means no definitive assessment of the vehicle's crashworthiness can be made from the published record.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Cadillac CT6?
The recall record for the 2019 CT6 presents a complex picture, with actions spanning multiple years and critical safety systems. Four distinct recalls have been issued, with the most recent in 2025 addressing a powertrain condition that may still be unresolved in some vehicles. The earliest recall, concerning seat belts, originated in the 2018 model year and carried over, indicating that certain 2019 units were manufactured prior to the issue's factory resolution. A separate recall in 2019 targeted the ABS and stability control, stemming from an electronic control unit flaw that could compromise the accuracy of warning lights. Also specific to the 2019 model year was a recall addressing turn-signal self-cancellation. The CT6's overall recall and complaint volume falls within a "Light burden" band, suggesting a lower frequency of reported issues compared to other vehicles in the NHTSA dataset. This designation, however, pertains to volume, not the potential severity of the recalled conditions. Without data for sibling years, a direct crash-safety comparison using federal test results is not possible.

USED BUYERWhat should used buyers know about the 2019 Cadillac CT6?
Owners of the 2019 CT6 should confirm any open recalls for their specific vehicle. This model year has been subject to four recalls, and their repair status is not uniform across all units. Checking the individual VIN at nhtsa.gov will reveal if any of these four recalls remain active and unaddressed for a particular car.
- The 2019 CT6 has no NHTSA crash-test score of any kind, including no frontal, side, or rollover ratings, so crashworthiness cannot be assessed from federal test data for this specific model year.
- A 2025 powertrain recall covers certain 2019 CT6 vehicles alongside other GM models, making it the most recently issued action and one that may remain unrepaired on vehicles already in the used market.
- The turn-signal self-cancellation recall was issued specifically for 2019 CT6 vehicles in early 2019, meaning some units may have been sold new before the remedy was applied.
- All 15 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for this model year are unverified allegations, and none of the filings include reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths, though the powertrain category alone accounts for 12 of those 15 reports.
