2001 Cadillac DeVille Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 2001 DeVille. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition: with the key not fully in the run position, the air bags may fail to deploy in a crash and the driver can lose engine power, power steering, and power braking. The second covers the front seat belt buckles, where high release efforts can make it harder for a crash victim to release the belt and exit the vehicle. The third covers the front seat belt retractors, which may not stay locked during a crash and can increase injury to that occupant. The fourth covers the body structure, where sun visor center support radii under 3.2mm raise the risk of laceration injuries in a crash. Owners have filed 190 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a seat belt retractor inspection to a sun visor support check or routine V8 service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 DeVille.
