This morning, I added the VIN, Order Number, PVI Number, Charge to Dealer Number, and Ship to Dealer Number into the Registry for every single 2006 Cadillac XLR and XLR-V that was built – including Captured Test Fleet and Experimental XLRs.
I still have to run through all of them and add colors, options, etc., however, that’s going to take me a little bit of time since there’s over 4,000 2006 XLRs built!
Once all the information has been added, you’ll be able to use the Registry search function to see how many 2006 Cadillac XLRs were built specifically with your options!
We’ve been working hard on the Cadillac XLR Registry here and adding in option codes, build dates, and invoicing agents from GM records for all XLRs entered in the Registry. We’re about 3/4 of the way through.
Right now, all the 2009 XLRs are done and we’re slowly finishing up the 2008 XLRs.
We’ve also added additional statistics, corrected erroneous data and added a couple enhancements to the search functionality. We will be rolling out additional enhancements to the search capability over the next couple of weeks.
Today, GM released an important service bulletin for the 2007 – 2009 Cadillac XLR regarding a condition where a fuel odor can be detected, or fuel droplets appear below the lef-thand fuel tank with the fuel gauge reading above a 1/2 a tank, or a malfunctioning indicator lamp illuminates due to a leak path in the left-hand fuel pump module flange. Below is a summary with a link to the PDF document in the forums:
Special Coverage Adjustment
15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks
Reference Number: N150682 Release Date: July 2016
Condition
Some 2007 to 2009 model year Cadillac XLR and 2007 to 2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles may have a condition where a fuel odor is detected, fuel droplets appear below the left-hand fuel tank with fuel gauge level above 1/2, or a malfunction indicator lamp illuminates due to a leak path in the left-hand fuel pump module flange.
Special Coverage Adjustment
This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.
For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after July 25, 2016, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to July 25, 2016, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the left hand fuel tank fuel pump module. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
I’m posting this because after a long search online, I found nobody who had this issue, despite the Cadillac dealer telling me that this is a “common” problem.
This is my 2005 XLR, it started to get some wind noise and I figured a seal had started to wear. Dealer looked at it and said the same and recommended a silicon product for the roof seal.
Then while driving down the highway at around 70mph, the roof panel flew off the car. Thankfully it didn’t hit anyone or cause an accident.
So, make sure you get your wind noise checked. Apparently this was an issue with Corvettes around that time, but I’ve seen nothing on the XLR.
THE MULTIPURPOSE BRAND EXPERIENCE CENTER WILL DELIVER DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING FOR CONSUMERS ACROSS ART, FASHION AND CULINARY
2016-05-23 GM Press Release
Daring has a new home. Cadillac today announced plans to launch Cadillac House, a physical manifestation of the brand’s cultural world, located on the ground floor of the company’s global headquarters in New York City. This 12,000 square foot permanent space will open to the public June 2, 2016 and will serve as a rotating location for events, vehicle exhibitions and collaborative partnerships with pioneering organizations, such as the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Visionaire.
Visitors will encounter an ever-evolving look inside the brand, anchored in the exploration of a wide spectrum of talents, industries and enterprises. From concerts to interactive art installations to fashion retail space, Cadillac House is designed as a meeting place where innovators, creators and the curious can find inspiration – and one another.
“Cadillac has built its nearly 114-year history by being at the forefront of automotive design, technology and style,” said Uwe Ellinghaus, Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer. “With Cadillac House, we have an exciting opportunity to bring to life the brand’s unique passion and perspective for beyond the automotive space.”
The space will be home to several always-on partnerships and programs that will continue to evolve throughout the year, delivering interactive experiences for consumers.
VISIONAIRE – Energetic and elemental themes will be brought to life through a partnership with art and culture magazine, Visionaire, which will challenge the conventional art gallery experience by creating an interactive installation. A new exhibition will be installed every quarter, and will feature large-scale, visually arresting artwork and multi-sensory, perceptive-altering light installations.
CFDA RETAIL LAB – Cadillac House will also be home to the Retail Lab, a concept developed by the CFDA in partnership with Cadillac. Retail Lab is an innovative mentoring and merchandising program for designers driving the fashion industry forward. Participants will be selected through a competitive application process and have an opportunity to gain real-world business experience through the custom retail store. The Retail Lab store will open in early July with inaugural designer Timo Weiland.
JOE COFFEE – Cadillac’s commitment as a positive and responsible neighbor will be reflected in a partnership with New York-based Joe Coffee. The local specialty coffeehouse will be opening a café within the Cadillac House to provide visitors with delicious beverages, pastries and other treats.
“We are excited to partner with Cadillac. We feel that both Cadillac and Visionaire strive for history-making design and we both push the boundaries of what is possible” said James Kaliardos of Visionaire. Co-founder Cecilia Dean adds, “The opportunity to have a space within Cadillac House is a thrilling opportunity for us to connect with a larger audience and to experiment with new mediums and technology.”
As home to The CFDA and Cadillac Retail Lab, the space will be a multi-disciplinary haven for top-tier design talent to bring to life their vision of a brick-and-mortar boutique experience.
“The CFDA is excited to extend its partnership with Cadillac through Retail Lab and to be part in the launch of Cadillac House,” said Steven Kolb, President and CEO of the CFDA. “By merging fashion, art, design and automotive, Cadillac House will be a new, dynamic destination in Hudson Square.”
Cadillac House is designed by global design firm Gensler. Cadillac House will be located at 330 Hudson St. and open to the public from 7am to 7pm ET Monday through Friday and 10am to 7pm Saturday and Sunday.

SUBJECT: Special Coverage Adjustment – Airbag Light On

2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette
CONDITION
On some 2004-2009 model year Cadillac XLR and 2005-2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles, equipped with power seats, the wire harness connector from the seat side airbag and buckle tensioner to the body has a design interference between the vertical adjust crossbar and the carpet. When the seat is moved forward or back, the connector may be dragged along the carpet, pulling terminals loose or pulling the connector apart. This will cause a diagnostic trouble code to be set and the service airbag light will be illuminated.
SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT
This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.
Dealers will replace the affected harness connection with a soldered connection. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after April 21, 2016, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to April 21, 2016, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Applicable Warranties section in GM Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.
CT6 PRESTIGE SEDAN AND XT5 CROSSOVER MODELS LAUNCH IN EARLY-2016
2016-02-08 GM Press Release
Cadillac’s global expansion continued in January, with total sales of 20,625 marking a 2.2 percent increase following the 7.5 percent growth of 2015. Cadillac now enters a period of key product launches which are planned to further accelerate the sales and reinforce the rising stature of the brand.
Cadillac launches the all-new CT6 flagship sedan in the first quarter of 2016, followed closely by the first-ever XT5 luxury crossover which enters the luxury market’s strongest segment.
“Cadillac’s global expansion is building momentum, particularly now as we prepare to launch two all-new products,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen.
“Newcomers to the brand continue to express surprise and delight at the dramatically elevated product substance in the new generation of Cadillac products, resulting in them selecting well-equipped, high-end models. This drives up transaction prices, a powerful proof-point underscoring the rapidly rising prestige of the Cadillac brand.”
In January, Cadillac sales in China rose 16.2 percent, following record high performance in 2015. Sales in Canada and Mexico increased 44.6 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively, in January. The SRX Crossover tallied a 24.1 percent increase in January and the XTS rose 12.8 percent.
According the J.D. Power, the average transaction price of a new Cadillac topped $55,000 in the U.S. in January, highest among full-line luxury brands. Strong demand in the domestic market has driven inventories lower as the brand prepares to launch two new product lines in the first quarter of 2016.
Production of the new CT6 in the historic Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant commences in February, establishing a new top of the Cadillac range. Concurrently, the first-ever XT5 is being prepared for production at a newly commissioned line in Spring Hill, Tenn. The arrival of this sophisticated new crossover entry enables Cadillac to be well positioned to exploit the strong global demand for midsize luxury crossover vehicles.
Cadillac sales in key regions appear in the table below.
