Circa 56,400 Cadillac SRX vehicles built between May 29th, 2012, and June 26th, 2013, are subjected to the recall operation initiated by the Detroit auto manufacturer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated in a report that "in certain driving situations, there may be a three to four second lag in acceleration due to the transmission control module programming."

50,591 vehicles suffering from the aforementioned fault are located in the United States, while 3,306 other are in Canada, 367 in Mexico and 2,123 in other markets. All cars are equipped with the 3.6-liter LFX V6 engine and the Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic gearbox.

General Motors is also recalling 51 diesel-powered Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD vehicles produced between February 11th, 2014, through Februrary 19, 2014.The problem with this lot is that the fuel pipe connections on both sides of the diesel fuel transfer pump may not be properly torqued. This may result in a diesel fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.

GM advises owners to bring their cars or trucks as soon as possible to an authorized dealership to have the transmission control modules (TCM) reprogrammed or the nuts that connect the fuel pipes properly tightened.
