Wow, you must really hate yourself to get into a Toyota minivan. LOL. It will be interesting to see how many engines are actually failing. It seems as every manufacturer is having engine problems currently, even Toyota.

I do not hate myself, my WIFE will hate me when the 6.2l Yukon leaves US stranded on the side of the road somewhere. I might be able to get the Yukon repaired and keep it if I am the only one in the Yukon with a DOA 6.2l on the side of the road. If SHE is in the DOA Yukon, Toyota Minivan in the driveway the next morning and the "I told you ......."!

I am guessing nobody else here would have this kind of response or be able to relate to this??

Joining the list. My 6.2 blew yesterday at 50,090 miles on my 2023 Denali. Dealer is replacing under warranty.

Anyone have any sense for whether the 6.2 failures occur only at highway speeds? Most (if not all) of the stories I've read about have occurred on the highway, presumably at or over 65 mph. I haven't read about a failure occurring in town/in stop-and-go traffic.

Mine failed yesterday on the highway. Where I get on for my daily drive is a 70mph zone so I was getting up to speed and at right around 70 it went to neutral and told me to shift to park. I pulled over and did, there was no dash lights or messages, also didn’t hear any noises or see smoke or anything. Took off again and hit 55mph and it failed for good. Shifted to neutral again, then to park when I got on the shoulder and wouldn’t start or go into neutral from there. Still no indication it was the engine but I knew from all I had read on here. Dealer confirmed today.

Edit -- I see above what year.

Are any of these failing with Carbyte or Range units installed?

Had to chuckle at this...my opinion is if you own any internal combustion engine you NEED to check the oil at EVERY fill up...been this way since I started being around engines...

While I do check mine every so often, mine is so boring that I hardly overlook at it anymore. It never changes. It's never anything but full.... And it's dependable as the sun coming up..
