U.S. Auto Safety Regulators Probe Nearly 900,000 GM Vehicles For Engine Failure

Engine failures in almost 900,000 GM vehicles are being probed by the Feds, according to a new report from the New York Post.

U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating 877,710 General Motors vehicles with L87 V8 engines, including the popular Silverado, following 39 complaints of sudden engine failure.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the failures occur without warning, posing a crash risk. The issue, linked to bearing failures, can cause the engine to seize or a connecting rod to breach the engine block.

The Post writes that the preliminary investigation covers several General Motors models, including the 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2021-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, 2019-2024 GMC Sierra 1500, 2021-2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and 2021-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV.

Why not the 2019,2020 Tahoe? Isn’t this the same power train as the later investigated models ? My wife is afraid to drive it.

This is wonderful news! I love seeing gm go down the toilet. Keep up the great work! 👍

No body sweats the recalls (or investigations) like gm ( note proper lower case woke spelling ).

All of the legacy’s make disposable junk. Not shock. Oh and it’s expensive junk

Nothing like dropping the ball on our most lucrative bread and butter products.
It's not just about the cost of the likely recall: It will cause damaging customer trust issues.
This absolutely will effect customer retention and new customer acquisition, leading to a massive loss in profits.

We can fix this with more calibration, more empathy, more environmental, social, and governance. Let's be bold. It's on us.

AFM lubrication woes. It's been going on a long time.

Quality is Job One.

Wait, not our catch phrase

Heck, we don't even pretend to care about quality.
