What's wrong. Vehicle description: limousine and hearse model vehicles. The right front brake hose can contact the wheel resulting in damage to the brake hose
Risk. If the hose becomes damaged, there can be a loss of brake fluid and pressure in half of the brake system. The brake pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer, increasing the risk of a crash
Fix. Dealers will replace the right front brake hose assembly. The left front brake hose assembly will also be replaced to prevent the possibility of incorrect position of the hose during any future service

Frequently asked questions
How many recalls does the Cadillac Hearse have?
3 NHTSA campaigns on record, covering 2000–2007. Not every campaign applies to every car — coverage is by production range, so check your VIN.
Is recall work free?
Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer regardless of the car's age, mileage or how many owners it has had. That is a federal requirement, not a courtesy.
How do I know if my Hearse still has an open recall?
Enter its VIN above. We show campaigns that apply to that exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been recorded as done.
Why did a defect take years to be recalled?
On this model the average gap between the car being built and the defect being admitted is 0.25 years, and the slowest campaign came 1 years later. Defects usually surface as they accumulate in the field: complaints pile up, an investigation opens, and only then is a campaign issued.
