I noticed that my ABS traction control light was on the dashboard console and when I push on the brakes the and the car was not stopping. The ABS was engaging on dry pavement. I checked the onboard diagnostic tool on the Cadillac and I am getting an error code of tcs C1255 which is a faulty electronic brake control module/ electronic brake and traction control module. I noticed that there is a recall on this exact part that I am experiencing problems with reference NHTSA campaign number: 97V064000. I called Cadillac dealer and was told that my VIN does not come up with any recalls and there are not any recalls at all for 1997 Cadillac Deville. I am requesting that my VIN be added to the recall for the brakes and the fuel system recall. Thank you updated 3/13/15
