GM confirmed that it is aware of 15 unintended deployments but said "injury data is unclear" at the moment.

An official recall date has not been set by the automaker yet, according to GM spokesman Alan Adler.

A course of action to fix the problem has also not been confirmed by GM yet.

"On some vehicles, a gasket leak where the constant velocity joint meets the rear propeller shaft may cause the rear propeller shaft to separate or become loose, making contact with the vehicle floor above and causing the rollover sensor to deploy the roof rail airbags," GM said in a statement regarding the recall.

Approximately 16,932 are affected by the recall.

Dealers will inspect and replace all affected parts free of charge.

Owners with more questions can contact Cadillac at 1-800-458-8006.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which oversees vehicle recalls in the U.S., has not posted any information regarding the recall on its website.

Despite the fact that an official recall date has not been announced, if you are currently experiencing any issues with your vehicle, you should bring it to your local dealer to be inspected.
