Recalls: check by VIN

NHTSA files recalls for the Cadillac Catera under individual trim or body names rather than "Catera", so we can't match them automatically. Enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the definitive list. The owner complaints below are matched correctly.

SEALED HEADLIGHTS THAT HAVE RESIDUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS THAT YOU CAN NOT REPLACE JUST THE BULBS. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, THAT COST OVER 600.00 EACH. THIS WOULD BE ON A 2002 CADALLAC CATERA. *TR
