General Motors on Aug. 19 began recalling 63,665 Cadillac ATS vehicles in the 2013-2016 model years so dealers can replace the sunroof console accessory switch trim plate, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
GM manufactured the cars subject to this recall from April 25, 2012, to June 25 of this year.

In these vehicles, the roof panel switch isn’t recessed so it’s more likely to be pressed inadvertently. If the sunroof happens to be open, such contact can lead to unintended auto-closure and pose an injury risk, NHTSA said. This condition doesn’t comply with federal safety standards.
Vehicle owners can reach Cadillac customer service at (800) 458-8006. GM’s number for this recall is 15568. This recall supersedes a previous one.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
