ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Cadillac CT6?
The 2020 Cadillac CT6 demonstrates a light burden of recalls and owner complaints. The powertrain recall, affecting multiple GM model years and platforms, suggests a persistent transmission concern identified post-production. A separate, narrower recall addresses the tire pressure monitoring system in units with specific dealer-installed accessory wheel packages. Eleven owner complaints have been registered, with six alleging powertrain issues and three citing brake problems. While these absolute numbers are modest for the segment, their concentration in critical areas warrants attention. No related model years are available in NHTSA data to provide a crash-safety reference for shoppers.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2020 Cadillac CT6 have any recalls?
The 2020 CT6 is tied to two recall campaigns. The first addresses the powertrain, specifically the automatic transmission, and covers a multi-model GM population including this year. The second targets the tire pressure monitoring and regulating system on vehicles equipped with dealer-installed accessory 20-inch by 8.50-inch wheels. Neither campaign carries a park-outside or do-not-drive directive in the data on file, but shoppers should verify current repair status by VIN at nhtsa.gov.

USED BUYERWhat should used buyers know about the 2020 Cadillac CT6?
Two recalls have been issued for the 2020 CT6. Owners should verify recall completion status via NHTSA's VIN lookup tool. Any open recalls on a used vehicle become the responsibility of the buyer post-purchase.
- The 2020 CT6 has no NHTSA crash-test score for any body style or trim, so federal star ratings cannot be used in any purchase comparison for this model year.
- One of the two recalls affecting this model year covers the automatic transmission and is part of a broader GM campaign spanning multiple models and years, making VIN-specific verification at nhtsa.gov essential.
- The tire pressure monitoring recall is limited to 2020 CT6 vehicles fitted with a specific dealer-installed accessory 20-inch wheel package, so not every 2020 CT6 is affected by that campaign.
- Six of the eleven complaints reported to NHTSA for this model year allege powertrain issues, and two of the total eleven complaints involve a reported crash event, all of which remain unverified consumer allegations on file with NHTSA.
