2023 Cadillac LYRIQ

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 LYRIQ.

The 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ marks the start of the model's 2023-2026 reliability history, arriving with 7 recalls and 24 owner complaints predominantly focused on the exterior lighting. Within this broader four-year span, the 2023 model occupies a moderate middle ground, registering far fewer issues than the 2024 peak of 109 complaints but significantly more than the 2026 low of just 5 complaints. For researchers, this positions the 2023 LYRIQ as an early iteration with notable but moderate growing pains that would escalate the following year before the model's issues ultimately declined.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ, as the first model year of the generation, logged 24 complaints, 7 recalls, and 784 TSBs—the highest recall and TSB counts of any year in the record. This contrasts sharply with the 2024 model, which saw a spike to 109 complaints (the peak) but slightly fewer recalls (6), while the 2025 and 2026 years show a clear downward trend in all metrics, with only 15 and 5 complaints respectively. The single investigation in 2023 further underscores early teething issues, though the data does not specify root causes. The high TSB volume suggests the manufacturer was actively addressing problems, but the 2023 year remains the most recall-prone of the generation. Given that later model years (2025–2026) exhibit far fewer complaints and recalls, the 2023 LYRIQ is a riskier purchase; a used buyer would be better served by a later model year with a more mature production history.
