Summary: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with all wheel drive and a 3.6l v6 engine, the torque monitoring functions of the electronic throttle control (etc) are not enabled. These functions can limit engine speed and torque if unusual engine control module (ECM) hardware or software failures occur.
Consequence: Without these functions enabled, a persistent ECM failure could result in a throttle opening greater than commanded by the driver and a crash could occur.
Remedy: Dealers will reprogram the ECM on these vehicles free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 24, 2006. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339..
