Indeed, as Rui Barradas said, predict() is a generic function. Calling
it with your model as an argument resolves to a function in the caret
package.

It's hard to say without looking at your code and data (the R-help
posting guide has some hints on how to prepare a reproducible example),
but I think that the caret package fits your linear SVM models using
kernlab::ksvm, and then predict() resolves to a combination of
kernlab::predict (potentially with the argument type = "probabilities")
and kernlab::lev.

Try replicating your results using just the kernlab package.
