General Motors Recalls All Trucks & SUVs With The 6.2L V8😳

The recall refers to a problem in which the 6.2L V8 has manufacturing defects that can lead to loss of propulsion, engine damage, and engine failure.

GM’s decision to issue a recall follows a series of lawsuits, investigations, and engine replacementsregarding consistent problems with the 6.2L V8 L87 engine.

GM will voluntarily recall certain 2021-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models equipped with 6.2L L87 engines to resolve manufacturing issues affecting some engines. The safety and satisfaction of our customers are the highest priorities for the entire GM team, and we’re working to address this matter as quickly as possible.”

GM notes that the connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components in affected vehicles may have unspecified manufacturing defects.

affected engines with manufacturing defects in the connecting rods or the crankshaft can lose propulsion and ultimately lead to engine failure, increasing the risks of an accident.

Vehicles that pass inspection will receive an engine oil and filter change, this time using high-viscosity 0W-40 Mobil 1 Supercar oil.

The owner’s manual for L87-equipped trucks calls for 0W-20 oil. The oil fill cap will also be replaced (to reflect the new oil type).

It’s unclear what happens if an affected truck does not pass inspection, but an an engine replacement is likely.
