GM's TRUCKS RECALL * USA

* Michigan - GM recalls some 2016 trucks for control arm defect
--- General Motors Co. said Tuesday that it is recalling 4,789 2016 full-size trucks in the U.S. because a front upper control arm can separate from the vehicle... The Detroit automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries resulting from the defect. The recall covers some 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks, Suburbans and Tahoes; GMC Sierra 1500 pickups, Yukons and Yukon XLs; and Cadillacs Escalades and Escalade ESVs. A small number of 2017 Silverado early-build trucks are also part of the recall, a GM spokesman said... GM believes fewer than 550 of the recalled vehicles were delivered to customers. The automaker said it will contact affected customers and tell them not to drive their vehicle until the front upper control arm can be replaced. Dealers will tow the vehicle for repairs and also can provide customers with a loaner car, the automaker said... The company said the part can separate from the vehicle “due to a poor quality weld near the control arm bushing.” If the part were to fail, GM said steering could be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash...
