Manufactured:
08/31/1997 - 11/29/1997
Affected:
14,423
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. these vehicles were built with hood hinge pivot bolts which can break due to an improper heat treat condition. this does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 219, "windshield zone intrusion." a broken bolt can cause either the corner of the hood near the windshield to raise, or one side of the hood to be unstable when opened.
Consequence:
In the event of a vehicle crash, the hood could be pushed back through the windshield glass possibly injuring the vehicle occupants.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the hood hinge pivot bolts.
Notes:

Component:
Air bags:side/window
Manufactured:
02/28/1997 - 08/30/1998
Affected:
215,293
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. some of the side impact sensor modules have quality problems that can cause an inadvertent deployment of the driver or passenger side impact air bags. these side air bags deploy with less force than a frontal air bag and are designed to minimize the risk of serious injury.
Consequence:
However, an occupant can receive some injury from a deployment.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the driver and passenger side impact sensing modules. if the vehicle has had the side air bags temporarily disconected, the temporary disconnect will be removed before replacing the side impact sensing modules.
Notes:
Owner notification for this campaign will be conducted in phases.the first phase of mailing began june 1, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact cadillac at 1-800-458-8006.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
