Summary:
      General Motors LLC "GM" is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to February 9, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards "FMVSS" No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."
Consequence:
      Because the switch is not recessed, the roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed resulting in unintended auto-closure of the roof panel, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Remedy:
      GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the roof console accessory switch trim plate, free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 15119.
