Always thought I had a spare tire under the foam in rear hatch. Got a flat that slit the tire. Found out there is no spare tire only a crappy kit that inflates and a canister to fill tire to repair. Problem is the slit was to big and the foam would not work. No dealer in the united states or Canada has the conversion spare tire kit 84472674. It has been on back order for months. I just cannot believe that a $50,000 car has no spare. and a cheap $15,000 Chevy comes with a spare. Had I known there was no spare (which the sales person never mentioned) I would not have bought the car. Hopefully the back order will get filled. You call GM Cadillac division and they are worthless. They say contact the dealer they have no idea when back order will be filled. Dealer says they have no idea contact GM Cadillac division. Can you believe this? IF anyone out there has a suggestion please let me know.

There was a vendor who would ship spare kits anywhere for very competitive prices who used to advertise on the SRX Forum. I do not see any advertisers on this new format. I believe the name was Lindsey Cadillac located out East somewhere.

Called them and they do not have it either. They said it has been on back order for months. Thanks for the info. Tried all the local junk yards also and a few insurance adjusters I know. They also had no luck.

I am looking at a 2017 XT5 at the local Cadillac dealership and said that I would have to have a spare kit installed to make a deal. After checking, the salesman said that they cannot get one - so no deal.

Now you all have me worried. I don't get the it's not available or it's backordered.
Because . . . I just ordered part number 84472674 online from GMPartsBin.com mid last week.. It took them a few days to process the order, it shipped via UPS earlier this week and is supposed to be delivered this Friday. I paid $297.17 + $26.95 shipping to Florida + State Tax.

The parts guys at the dealers don't seem to have a clue if you ask for a spare tire kit for a XT5. I then asked them if they showed this specific part number in their system - at first they said it wasn't there. A guy in the back told the one at the counter to look in the system a certain way and he came back "Oh here it is" it's $650 (maybe that is installed???). I asked him if it showed what parts are actually in this kit and he said no, but said that the kits usually come with all the pieces you need. Seems like the only way anyone knows about this part number is information on this forum!

In other posts in this forum folks have shown pictures of what they have received under 84472674; those parts pictured do look like what you need. You really can't tell what you are getting for the 84472674 part number on-line (there is no description other than "Tire Kit", no diagrams, no lists of parts, etc.). I actually called GMPartsBin to asked them what it contained and he gave me the same answer of "everything you need to add a spare tire".

Also of interest, prior discussion indicated this kit comes in one very large box; my shipment is coming in two boxes (two tracking numbers provided).

There must be 30+ different GM parts websites on-line (just search GM Parts or Cadillac Parts or even this part number). The price on-line for this part number varied a little around the $300 range for most of the sites, but shipping costs varied wildly (all the way up to $433 just for shipping) - so be careful if you go this way.

I'll update here later on whether I received what I was expecting (and if I do, it is obviously available)

As previously posted, I ordered part number 84472674 last week; it arrived today and everything was there that is needed for the spare tire equipment. So this part definitely exists and was in stock in my case. Not sure why the sales people and dealer parts guys can't figure this out, because you would think the request for the spare tire would come up rather often.

This is the part number for the kit with the black trim edge on the back of the storage compartment to match the other pieces back there (the "Titanium" version is apparently 84472675) The kit I received included all the items pictured in other posts in this forum - basically everything shown with "Jack & Components" in the on-line parts diagram: jack, wrench, strap, jack container (tool compartment), spare tire retainer, washer & lower support (you reuse the mount stud from inflation kit hold down), plus the storage compartment in black (P/N 84141567 - the big foam piece that replaces existing piece), the wheel (steel), tire (T135/70R18), valve stem and even a label to add for the spare tire size/pressure on the front door jam. You do have to have the tire & stem mounted & balanced as others had noted. Instructions were included that were pretty good (not perfect & small print - but close enough), but you could figure out the installation without them because it is pretty straight forward. I only needed to use a 10mm socket, a T-30 and a T-45 Torx bit to remove a couple of screws. The instructions mention taking a picture/print the SPID label (build label) that is on the existing storage compartment, but this label is no longer provided on newer models (I have a 2019 XT5) - it is now read via a barcode on the front door pillar. There is a fuse location label that should be carefully removed from the existing storage compartment and moved to the new piece (or take a picture/print).

There is a spot in the storage compartment for the Cargo Management System divider (if you have the cargo rails). While I don't think it was intended because it won't be secured down (crash safety issue?), the existing tire inflation kit tucks neatly under the Cargo Management divider when stored.

$450 on Ebay:
Wrong spare kit. The SRX and XT5 kits are different. When searching on Ebay, you need to read the results carefully: "0 results found for 5 spre 2017 Cadillac XT5, so we searched for 5 spare 2017 cadillac xt5 " and then read the item descriptions very carefully. The OP is looking for the tire/jack holder to secure the tire and jack under the rear compartment lid. wvictor01 described it very well.

I just looked at the spare tire kits on ebay - they are not the complete kit (one item for sale wouldn't fit correctly in a XT5 as njacobsen noted) and they are way overpriced for what you get. I've copied/pasted a picture here from a post by DaveD44 on this XT5 forum about this topic back in July 2018. He shows the parts included in the 84472675 kit (his picture is the "Titanium" version - note the silver along the edge of the large foam piece which is visible along the back of the cargo area when installed; that is black on the 84472674 kit; everything else is the same). The circular part shown with the large foam piece (it looks like it is part of the large foam piece in the picture, but is actually a separate piece P/N 23193991 included in the kit and is called the lower support) is important; it lifts the spare tire off the floor slightly to avoid crushing an electronics box that is located in that area.

Great post (and previous posts) wvictor01!!

There is nothing like pictures to clearly show the contents of the correct kit for our XT5's or any other subject being discussed.

Called GMPARTSBIN.com they said part has been on back order for weeks and they have no idea when they would be getting it in. When I told them you just got the part they said it was impossible. They have back orders for several weeks and there was no way he could have gotten the part from them. So wherever you got the part consider yourself very lucky but the rest of us have to wait until the backorders are filled.

Now that is just weird. I'm wondering if the warehouse guys just put a kit together for me from the individual pieces. The shipment I received wasn't really boxed as if it was a factory kit (i.e. it was not in a single box with the part number on it - others have posted it comes in a 3' x 3' box). In my case, the large foam piece was shipped in a large box (~3' x 3' x 1') that was originally for a door panel and reshaped/taped in an odd way; everything else was in another smaller box without any special packing. But I got all the pieces that are supposed to be there.

I just tried again to see if I could add this part to the cart at GMPARTSBIN.com and it would let me do it. That doesn't mean it is not on backorder (they have some fine print about this), but it might be interesting to see what happens if you just order it. But they do charge your credit card right away when you place the order. And it took a couple days longer than I expected for them to process/ship an order for an in-stock part. I guess I do have to consider myself lucky!

You or anyone can order it but you will not get it since it is on back order. Call there number and you will talk to a person and they will tell you it is on back order you can still order it and when and if it comes in they will ship it

That part number (84929602) is correct as of this fall 2020. My dealer was no help in finding a part number but the above post from RLDEV08CTS was spot on. I ordered it from GMParts2U.com and it arrived a few weeks later in two large boxes. The first picture is what you get (everything you need). The second is the included instructions and the third is all that installed. The tire comes unmounted, but even includes the valve stem.
