Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 LYRIQ.
The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ is the latest model year in a nameplate that has been on sale since 2023, and it carries the lightest reliability footprint of any year in the lineup's history. With just 5 total owner complaints, a single open recall, and structure as the only category to register meaningful volume, the 2026 model stands in sharp contrast to 2024, which accumulated 109 complaints and remains the high-water mark of owner-reported issues across the four-year run. For a researcher building a longitudinal picture of the LYRIQ, 2026 reads as a stabilization point following the 2024 spike, though the still-developing data window means the picture will continue to fill in. The persistence of structure as the top complaint area is the through-line worth watching, as it is the one category that has carried over into the most recent and otherwise quiet model year.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ shows a sharp decline in all federal‑record metrics, with only five complaints, one recall, no investigations, and 143 technical service bulletins (TSBs), compared with 2025’s 15 complaints, three recalls and 367 TSBs, and markedly lower than the 2024 spike of 109 complaints and 696 TSBs. Across the four‑year span, the trend is a consistent reduction in complaints, recalls, and TSBs after the 2024 peak, indicating improving reliability or fewer reported issues. The 2026 model’s top complaint areas—Structure, Electrical System, Exterior Lighting, and Forward Collision Avoidance—each contributed a single report, and there were zero crash‑related or fire complaints, suggesting no major safety concerns surfaced that year. This downward trajectory places 2026 at the most favorable point in the generation’s record, making it a strong year to consider for purchase.
