COMPONENT: Fuel System, Gasoline: Delivery

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 17462

SUMMARY:
Certain vehicles equipped with V6 engines may have a condition where fuel is no longer supplied to the engine. This condition occurs without the illumination of the fuel level low indicator light or the warning chime.

CONSEQUENCE:
If the engine stops running, the operator will not be able to restart the vehicle which could increase the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) with new software free of charge. Owners were notified in December 2005 and asked to maintain at least 1/4 of a tank fuel level to avoid this condition until the parts are available. The recall is expected to begin during March 2006. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.
