L87 6.2: “NHTSA to investigate potential for engine failure in nearly 1 million GM trucks, SUVs”

Apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere, I searched and checked the “is this being discussed elsewhere” suggestions.

Just saw this article, looks like a recall may be coming eventually.

This applies to the L87 6.2L V8 in 2021+ Tahoes/Yukons.

It was only a matter of time. Spontaneous engine failure is a recipe for a serious incident. Fortunately, at least on this forum we haven't heard of anyone having a major incident outside of the inconvenience being stranded with a failed engine.

Toyota recently recalled the majority of their TT 3.5L V6 engines due to failure caused by machining debris eating up crank bearings.

Good. I’ve been dreading the day when my power train warranty runs out, which is in about a year. Hopefully by then, an engine recall is in the books.

GM made the bed, now they got to lie in it. They had faulty tooling, produced faulty engines, and the consumers paid the price (figuratively and literally) .. GM shouldn’t get off Scott free when people are paying mortgages for f*ckin trucks and being left on the side of the road.
