NHTSA recall 16V256000
Suspension · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The front upper control arms may have inadequate welds near the control arm bushing.
Why it matters: Inadequate welds may allow the control arm to separate from the bushing, compromising steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left and right front upper control arms and realign the vehicle, free of charge. The recall began on May 18, 2016. Until the repairs have been made, owners are advised not to drive their vehicles.
