			*'''RECALL ALERT:''' On December 23, 2010, GM issued a recall affecting approximately 1,260 Cadillac Escalades, [[Chevrolet Avalanche]] and [[Chevrolet Silverado\|Silverado 1500s]], and [[GMC Sierra]] 1500s from MY 2011 due to a faulty rear-axle cross pin, which could fracture and become displaced within the axle. GM said that if the pin shifts out of position, it could create an interference condition and cause the rear axle to lock, in which case, the driver may not be able to maintain directional control of the vehicle and a crash could occur without prior warning.[http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/12/gm-issues-separate-recalls-on-cadillac.html]

	The Escalade has been featured in many hip-hop music videos, and it may have been the reason for [[Cadillac]]'s recent popularity among the urban demographic. James Gandolfini, who plays the character of "Tony Soprano," drives around New Jersey in an [[Cadillac]] Escalade ESV in HBO's "The Sopranos". It continues to be popular among younger actors, athletes and the hip-hop community.

			A black Cadillac Escalade was owned by Nick (played by Ice Cube) in a film ''Are We Done Yet?'' as a replacement of his [[Lincoln Navigator]] (which was already destroyed). By the end of the film, a ladder fell onto his Escalade and broke the windscreen.

	The '''[[Cadillac]] Escalade''' is a full-size luxury [[SUVs\|sport utility vehicle]] sold by the [[General Motors\|General Motors Corporation]] [[Luxury Cars\|luxury brand]], [[Cadillac]]. It was the division's first major entry into the popular [[SUVs\|SUV]] market. The Escalade was introduced for the 1999 model year in response to German and Japanese competitors and to [[Ford]]'s 1998 release of the [[Lincoln Navigator]]. The Escalade project went into production only 10 months after it was approved. The standard Escalade is built in Arlington, Texas.

	The Escalade was originally based on sister company [[GMC]]'s [[GMC Yukon\|Yukon Denali]], but was redesigned for the 2002 model year to make its appearance fall more in line with [[Cadillac]]'s new design theme. The Escalade was not the first [[Chevrolet]]-based [[Cadillac]]: the first-generation [[Cadillac Seville\|Seville]] and mid-1980s [[Cadillac Cimarron]] were based on entry-level [[Chevrolet\|Chevy]] vehicles ([[Chevrolet Nova\|Nova]] and [[Chevrolet Cavalier\|Cavalier]], respectively). As of today, the '''Escalade ESV''' (a luxurious [[Chevrolet Suburban\|Chevy Suburban]]), especially the '''Escalade EXT''' pickup are, together with the [[Cadillac BLS]], the only [[Cadillac]] vehicles made outside of the United States, since the demise of the German-built [[Cadillac Catera]] in 2001. ~~Both the ''~~Escalade ESV~~'' and ''~~Escalade EXT~~'' are made~~ in Silao, Mexico.
