Geno's has a brake rotor recall (#778) for 98 Rams. Same recall exists for GM (same date code on rotor even but different NAPA part numbers so the rotors are not the same). Geno's has great detail but the Dodge braking system is not the same and and I can't locate the date code on the GM. Anyone have a possible source for procedure for checking GM rotor date code like Geno has for the Dodge? I have a separated rotor (braking surface separated from the hub) on my GM Suburban that lead to an accident and am trying to locate the date code on that rotor and can't find it. Can anyone tell me where it might be on the GM rotor? Did Dodge and GM possibly purchase rotors from the same source and if so, does anyone have data on who manufactured the defective castings? Or, can someone point me to a GM source? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Most rotors I've seen have date / lot codes on the inside of the hat or on the outer circumference of the rotor, near the cooling fins.
