Known issues on the 2017 Escalade. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the vacuum brake booster: vacuum can decrease over time, reducing brake assist, increasing pedal effort and extending stopping distance. The second covers the front air bag system: certain driving conditions can trigger a diagnostic test in the air bag sensing and diagnostic module, and a failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in a crash increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger. Owners have filed 87 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From bleeding and testing the brake vacuum system to diagnosing an air bag SDM fault or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 Escalade.
