BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

[jfoj]

I have not heard that the P0016 was a common finding. The problem is if this is a Pending code, it will not trigger the SES/CEL/MIL and therefore you must scan for codes.

But maybe this was a Go/No Go Red Herring put out to hopefully appease the NHTSA folks?

Dang, 28,102 complaints related to the engine, almost 50% of the complaints had loss of propulsion i.e. more than likely failed engines. I have to assume the 28,102 complaints were all major engine repairs or replacements as well. Something tells me this may be under reported as well.

$$$$$ and way to piss the customers off the why this has been handled.

Yes, all the 'survivors' should be entitled to extended warranty IMO. I think that is a fair compromise... but that would technically signal a "hey we are not sure about this fix" and may not meet NHTSA recall requirements if done as part of the recall. However, if that extended warranty was in response to a lawsuit or done as a "customer satisfaction" program, that would decouple it from NHTSA investigation.



I hope you are right but I am seeing that cranks/connecting rod manufacturing improvements were done on or before June 1, 2024, so any crank/rod made after June 1st is safe... now we don't know if your engine has that crank or rod.

'A series of crankshaft and connecting rod manufacturing improvements implemented on or before June 1, 2024, addressed contamination and quality issues.'

Based on the production dates in listed on the NHTSA 25V274 cutting off at May 31, 2024, my vehicle build month was August 2024 so I was 8+ weeks beyond the cut off and do not expect to be impacted by the Recall.

But I have the DFM/Lifter issue to look forward to, I would also have the valve body problems to look forward to as well, but I am proactively going to address the valve body myself before it becomes a problem.

Jesus what we all need to do just go leave the property these days!

I called my dealer this AM and they confirmed that my engine was on the bad list.. I said what now? The service guy responded that he did not know and that they did not have clear direction from GM. He said that they had been originally been directed to change the oil wait but now that plan was being scrapped.. Oh boy

Was told the same thing by my dealer. No plan from GM and insufficient communication to dealers. My VIN is covered and described as "No Remedy"
