Why General Motors Issued This Recall
GM found that some 6.2-liter V8 (L87) engines left the factory with out-of-spec crankshaft and/or connecting-rod parts. Metal contamination and machining irregularities can damage rod bearings, leading to engine failure and sudden loss of propulsion while driving. Most owners will notice symptoms well before a major failure. Some symptoms include:
- Knocking, ticking, or other unusual engine noise
- Illuminated Check-Engine light or rough idle
- Hesitation, harsh shifts, or no-start condition
- Sudden loss of power or propulsion while driving
If this is you, don't wait until your vehicle is damaged. Schedule recall service now and get peace of mind knowing your vehicle will be fixed the right way.
