General Motors is recalling nearly 4,800 late-model Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC trucks and SUVs to repair a problem with their suspensions, which could increase the risk of accidents. In fact, the problem is so severe that GM has advised owners not to drive their vehicles until they've been repaired.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, some of the affected vehicles may have front upper control arms that were improperly welded. The components were supplied by Multimatic Inmetmatic. Depending on the severity of the problem, the control arms could separate from the bushing, making a vehicle significantly more difficult to control and boosting the risk of a crash.

The recall affects the following makes and models:

• 2016 Cadillac Escalade built between February 18, 2016 and April 6, 2016
• 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV built between February 17, 2016 and April 5, 2016
• 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 built between February 11, 2016 and April 8, 2016
• 2016 Chevrolet Suburban built between April 2, 2016 and April 7, 2016
• 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe built between February 17, 2016 and April 5, 2016
• 2016 GMC Sierra built between February 11, 2016 and April 5, 2016
• 2016 GMC Yukon built between February 16, 2016 and April 6, 2016
• 2016 GMC Yukon XL built between February 17, 2016 and April 5, 2016

GM estimates that 4,789 vehicles in the U.S. are affected by the recall.

The good news is, because these vehicles are so new, only 790 are thought to be in owners' hands. The remainder are still held by GM or by dealers, who won't be selling them until they've been repaired.

where do you verify your build date?

It is on the sticker on your door

I was affected by this. I have a 2016 AT that was built in April. Had it for 14 days, paid my sales tax on it, then that afternoon I get a call stating that it had a "stop recall". This was on April 28th. As of today nobody can tell me anything. My new truck is sitting on the lot after returning it back to the dealership and I have insight as to when it will be fixed. They did give me a loaner truck, but it is a far cry from my loaded AT. To say I'm dissatisfied with GM would be a extreme understatement.

I guess replacing the aluminum upper A arms with steel did not work out to well for GM either.

I missed the build date range by 6 days!

My sticker just says 02/16 so I guess I have to call and find out...

Mine was built 3/16. I checked my VIN in the recall center and it says I am not affected. Thankfully.
