General Motors has decided that certain 2011 model year Cadillac SRX vehicles equipped with a Passenger Sensing System (RPO AL0) fail to conform to the owner manual information required in Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. The owner manual states that the roof-rail airbags are not affected by the passenger sensing system (PSS); however, these vehicles are programmed to turn off the right roof-rail airbag in some crashes if the PSS senses the right front seat is not occupied. The roof-rail airbag will still deploy during a vehicle rollover. With this condition, the vehicle meets government standards for side impact protection but the right rear seating position may not have coverage of a roof-rail airbag in certain frontal and side crashes.

The SRX is the Cadillac of crossovers. A fusing of dramatic presence, advanced technology and flexible storage space, all crafted to the highest level of detail. Powered by an advanced direct-injected or available turbocharged engine, suspension options that deliver nimble road performance, and offering a handcrafted interior that pampers both driver and passengers, here is a new standard for luxury crossovers.
