Model-year reading

What the 2025 record can and cannot say

Compared with other Cadillac Optiq years here, the 2025 total is 5 above the median year in this model file. Its raw count is 11, with no denominator for vehicles sold.

Evidence and provenance

Three evidence layers, kept separate

NHTSA signals: 11 submitted complaints, 2 recalls and 281 manufacturer communications. These are report counts, not failure probabilities.

EPA configuration evidence: No clean model-year configuration match was found, so adjacent-year specifications are not borrowed.

Repair-cost modelling: 19 applicable non-wear scenarios use published benchmarks where available plus parts and independent-shop labour assumptions. These ranges are not dealer quotes, repair-shop quotes or invoices.
