Recall on upper control arms 2016 Silverado. DO NOT DRIVE

[stg1dom]

Any one else get this recall on theres? I got the recall sent to me in a Fed Ex overnight envelope today. The upper control arms have welds that may fail by the bushings. Also says no parts are available for the repair. It states not to drive the vehicle in bold letters. It will be flat bedded to the dealer for repair. When I called my dealer, they had no knowledge of the recall at all. I called Chevrolet, and at first the girl had no knowledge of it either. Then found it and looked up the parts and had them sent to my dealer asap. She told me less than 1000 vehicles were affected. I was wondering if anyone else got this.

Sounds legit - why don't you post a scan of the recall notice?

About a week old recall. If it fails, it is not if you crash or not, but how bad you crash.

Sorry it's sideways. When I took a picture of it it was the right way. When I post it goes sideways.

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

My build date was 3/16. I looked the VIN up in the recall center and it says I am NOT affected. Thankfully.

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.

Just picked up my new 2016 Midnite on Monday. Was going to get my leveling kit put on this weekend but looks like I am going to have to wait to see if my truck is affected by this recall. Is it only certain trucks built on certain months?

The easiest was to figure out if your truck is affected is to go to the recall center in the Chevrolet Mobile app or the Cheverolet Owners Center and punch in your VIN #

Just a update. Talked to the dealership and the replacement control arms have been shipped to them. So looks like the end is near.

It's legit.. had mine break off a few weeks ago... NOT FUN!
My Silverado is a 2015..

my arms came in today. Chevrolet overnighted them. Have an appointment Monday.

Glad this did not happen to somebody with a lift on their truck. We all know GM never puts faulty parts on a truck.......

[Robb Delaney]

I put my lift on AFTER they fixed it.. just a leveling kit..

 

I'll upgrade to a 6" in the future..
