NHTSA 6.2L Motor Failure Inquiry

[AXE]

This specifically states the bearing failure, not the lifter issues.

GM is potentially facing a large warranty issue as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a preliminary investigation into engine fa...

Also this article has a link to another class action lawsuit for the bearings. Those of you with failures may want to sign up in case there's other compensation.

iT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!

My 23 only has 3600 mi on the clock and I am constantly looking over my shoulder whenever I drive. I have not had any issues with the truck "YET" But that could change each time I take it out. I do have the full warranty and extended warranty on the vehicle. I hope to soon have the hood wrapped (glare issue) and the truck de-badged and have it pin stripped with paint to high light the lines of the truck.

I posted a link to this in one of the many 6.2 failure threads earlier as well, it’s about time. I’ve said all along it’s ridiculous to give GM a pass on how bad these motors have gotten. Pure nonsense to “accept” we should have to consider this the new norm and go on.

It does not include model year 2025. Did GM make a change and not tell anybody?

Probably just finally got the parts flushed from the system and manufacturing adjusted.

Just start pulling oil samples and you'll know if the wear metals are too high. Nothing will prevent catastrophic failure, so it either happens or doesn't. Seems like fewer issues as the miles are now piling up in some of these rigs.

Yea, I have been watching the oil and been changing it just for added insurance. I am using Royal Purple 0-20 weight. I have had good results using it in my race car.

Oof. Instead of messing with GM and all the time we have to spend with our rigs in their shops, is there shop or something that we can take our rigs to or do ourselves (if you have the tools/expertise) to get upgraded bearings or all the other things that might fail? Crazy that GM is good with all this. If everyone left and went Ford, Ram, or Toyota that will hurt. No one wants to go that far though. lol

I'm not sure if we've gotten to the bottom of the problem? It's it bad bearings (main crank and rod), bad camshaft, or bad machining in the block. Could be a combination. They'll never tell us until the lawsuit proceeds.
