Since XXX, when my truck's engine failed, I have made repeated attempts to resolve this situation with General Motors and Wallace Chevrolet in [XXX]. I have contacted GM, visited the dealership multiple times, and personally spoken with the mechanic who examined my truck. The mechanic informed me that an engine lifter had seized or frozen, resulting in a serious engine failure. I have always properly maintained this vehicle. I have records of oil changes, routine maintenance, and other services. This truck has not been neglected or abused. I am aware of GM's extensive recalls involving hundreds of thousands of vehicles with serious engine defects. I understand that my truck's VIN is not included in the recall population. I have already contacted the legal team handling the related claims and was informed that my vehicle does not qualify. Nevertheless, I believe my truck's engine failure deserves the same serious attention and consideration, even if the underlying mechanical defect is different from the defect covered by those recalls. What is most disappointing is how General Motors and its representatives have handled my situation. I have been a loyal GM customer for years. I traded in two GM vehicles that I previously leased when I purchased this Silverado. I trusted GM and believed the company would stand behind its products. Instead, I have spent approximately nine months trying to g INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  My 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 equipped with the 6.2L L87 V8 has exhibited abnormal engine behavior since shortly after purchase, well before GM announced the engine recall. Symptoms include extremely loud intermittent metallic lifter/valvetrain noise during cold starts, persistent rough idle, and noticeable engine vibration that causes the truck to rock back and forth after warming up. Paradise Chevrolet and Bunnin Chevrolet subsequently performed GM's prescribed PicoScope inspections, and both reported passing results. The oil-viscosity recall remedy was also completed, but the symptoms remain unresolved at 47,133 miles. I am concerned about potential internal engine damage and the possibility of sudden engine failure or loss of propulsion. Given NHTSA's investigation into L87 engine failures following recall repairs, I am requesting further investigation into the adequacy of GM's recall remedy.

  I drive a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 3.0L Diesel with the 10-speed transmission. The transmission control software failed to monitor/detect valve body wear or trigger a 5th-gear 'limp mode' safety net, resulting in three separate instances of sudden rear-wheel lockup at speed. The dealer was unable to replicate the issue during a service visit from 6/10 - XXX. The issue was raised as the transmission was shifting increasingly badly leading up to this service visit. The first full lockup occurred a few days after receipt of the vehicle on XXX driving eastbound on [XXX]. Off the gas, coasting downhill. Once everybody started speeding up, I increased the throttle gently and the truck shook violently. I initially thought I had been hit by another vehicle but realized it was the transmission. Speed was noted 24 mph. The second incident occurred XXX while traveling to [XXX]. Driving southbound between [XXX] and [XXX] at approximately 50 MPH in a coasting condition. Went to pass a slow vehicle and the vehicle jerked violently an locked the rear wheels. Initial assumption was that I had been hit. Was able to regain control and continue. The third incident occurredXXX while traveling from [XXX] to [XXX]. Driving eastbound on [XXX] at approximately 35 mph, when moving from a coast to acceleration posture, the vehicle again locked the rear wheels and jerked violently. Finally, onXXX when traveling southbound from [XXX] to [XXX], I stopped for fuel. When attempting to accelerate onto the freeway, the vehicle failed to engage 6 gear, stumbled, and then went into limp mode with a check engine light. On XXX a [XXX] dealer found code P0747 and addressed the issue with [XXX]. I was forced to rent a car to continue my journey to [XXX]. GM ultimately shipped my truck back to me one week later. The software 'fix' clearly did not work as intended and remains a serious safety hazard. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  Engine failure on our 4-cylinder- it just quits same problem as on the 6-cylinder - it just stops running or runs rough. No warning signs and no indication that it is about to fail.

  Fuel/propulsion system

  Evaporative emissions purge pump failed at 18,473 miles. As the bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired GM refused to cover this repair. As this is a known problem with certain GM vehicles, the repair is covered for older model year out-of-warranty cars and for residents of other states (California, for example). This repair is covered by the emissions warranty in some states (California), but not Michigan.

  While driving at Interstate speeds, the engine abruptly stalled, causing an immediate loss of motive power. I was able to coast off the Interstate to a surface street then into a gas station parking lot. Once stopped, the engine would not start again. It would crank repeatedly but never fire, like it was out of gas, but I had nearly 1/2 tank still. This is a safety concern having a 3yr old truck just die on you at highway speeds. This vehicle matches the exact year, make, and model of the expanded GM Emission Recall Campaign N262558690-01 (NHTSA ID 11037321) for Fuel Pump Power Control Module failures, but the VIN is currently excluded."

  On our way to [XXX], we heard a clacking noise coming from our engine. Pulled off the highway and had it towed to Reeder Chevrolet. It was Sunday XXX. On XXX we went to the dealer and they said we spun a connecting rod bearing and needed a new engine. Truck is a 2023 Slverado, 5,3 engine, with about 65000 miles on it. 5000 miles out of warranty. It took 18 days, and cost $12,214.37 to replace. Dealer stated that if I wanted to pursue a warranty claim, we would have tpo pay for them to disassemble the engine, diagnose the problem, then reassemble the engine, and they would send it to GM. GM would decide if it would be covered under warranty. If not, we would be out the cost of the diagnosis. I have always used 0W-20 full synthetic oil when an oil change was required. After searching this problem online, I found a tech service bulletin changing the requirement to 0W-40. We were never notified of the change, and the 2026 owners still say to use 0W-20.

  The engine in my 2023 Silverado ZR2 (6.2L L87 V8) failed. It is available for inspection at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet ([XXX]). On XXX at about 67,000 miles, and the days leading up to it, the truck repeatedly struggled to start due to metal on metal contact, almost leaving me and my family stranded multiple times. Driving the vehicle produced a loud rattling noise at 2200 to 2700 rpm, and felt unsafe to drive. Especially with my family. The problem was reproduced and confirmed to be an engine failure by the Rick Hendrick Chevy dealership a week after being dropped off with an appointment. I have been told the engine needs to be replaced under the special coverage program (N252494003). The L87 recall inspection and oil change was completed on XXX also by Rick Hendrick Chevy. There were not warning lights or other symptoms leading up to this engine failure. The symptoms of struggling to start and the ticking noise as 2200 to 2700 RPM started that weekend before I brought to dealership. They got progressively worse. Dealership has said I will receive a new engine under warranty but no timeline for completion. Additionally I have not been furnished with a service loaner or option for one.

  Engine failed and was replaced at 38k. Transmission shudders, have been back to dealership multiple times for transmission shudder, have been told it was tires, torque converter, and valve body. When those items didn’t fix the issue, I was told it was the engine dfm and that it was normal and not a problem, AFTER they had already acknowledged the transmission issue by trying to fix it with a torque converter and valve body. Engine failed again at 54,604 miles while at high way speeds in rush hour like traffic in between [XXX] and [XXX], while pulling a camper. Truck oiled down the interstate and produced a blueish/milky looking cloud that caused drivers behind me to lock up their brakes because of bad vision, creating a hazard. I was told by gm that they wouldn’t tow the camper that I had to take care of that but they wouldn’t tow send a truck for my truck. Tow truck gets there and says my truck is too big and leaves. I called my own rollback to get my truck 3 1/2 hours later and they came and got it. Was stranded on the side of the interstate for 4 1/2 hours in 90 degree weather, to my knowledge the 2nd truck gm was supposed to send never showed up.

  Catastrophic Engine failure - Chevy, Silverado 1500, Yr: 2023; Odometer: 33,183: On 8/16/2026 we were traveling down a busy highway towing our camper and the engine completely stopped, no propulsion, no warning lights, no check engine lights; complete failure; we had to coast to side of road. The only thing that indicated a problem is that we started hearing what sounded like marbles rattling, it wasn't loud but noticeable. We pulled over at gas station to check oil, even though we just had the oil changed for maintenance on 7/17/2026 (Odometer: 32,587). Everything checked out ok; however, the marble sound became louder; then within 5 minutes of leaving the gas station, we lost all engine propulsion; the engine completely shut down. Our safety was put at risk as we had no truck engine and were towing a camper on a busy highway; and had to try and coast to a safe location on side of road; miles away from home. We had to call a tow truck to come get us and unfortunately, they could not help us with our camper so then had to call our son to come with his truck to get our camper and us home safely. The tow company also had a difficult time getting the truck into neutral to tow. The truck was towed to our hometown Chevy Dealer. The dealer said that they were not going to diagnose the problem and instead are ordering a new 6.2 engine; same as the 6.2 that failed. We asked if this would fix the problem and they said there were no guarantees as it is the same engine with the same problem. Prior to this event, we received a recall in Sep 2025 and an engine inspection and oil change was performed on 9/12/2025 (Odometer: 25,751); we were told that our engine was ok. As of 9/3/2026; we have been without our vehicle for 17 days.

  On January 16, 2026, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query RQ26001.  This investigation was opened to assess the remedy effectiveness of Recall 25V-274. ODI has received complaints alleging engine failure in vehicles after the recall remedy had been completed, whether that remedy involved an oil viscosity change or a complete engine replacement. General Motors (GM) issued Recall 25V-274 to address concerns of engine failure in the L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issue. GM’s recall remedy for Recall 25V-274 consisted of two different repairs, either an oil viscosity change or an engine replacement, based on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. ODI continues to receive reports of engine failures after the completion of the recall remedy.

  On January 16, 2026, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query RQ26001.  This investigation was opened to assess the remedy effectiveness of Recall 25V-274. ODI has received complaints alleging engine failure in vehicles after the recall remedy had been completed, whether that remedy involved an oil viscosity change or a complete engine replacement. General Motors (GM) issued Recall 25V-274 to address concerns of engine failure in the L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issue. GM’s recall remedy for Recall 25V-274 consisted of two different repairs, either an oil viscosity change or an engine replacement, based on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. ODI continues to receive reports of engine failures after the completion of the recall remedy. To date, ODI has received 499 complaints alleging post-remedy engine failure in vehicles subject to Recall 25V-274, 473 of which involved an oil viscosity change and 26 a complete engine replacement. GM reported receiving 6,953 complaints of post-remedy engine failure. ODI will close this RQ and continue to investigate complaints of post-remedy engine failure for Recall 25V-274 as part of an Engineering Analysis (EA26005).

  The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 1,157 reports of engine bearing failure failures in the L87 6.2L engine produced by General Motors (GM). Of the 1,157 reports received, 173 are outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. These engines are installed in Model Years (MY) 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and 2021-2024MY Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV vehicles. The subject engine failures were investigated as part of a Preliminary Evaluation (PE25001).  GM determined that these engine failures were due to multiple supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the supplier manufacturing and quality issues produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. Based on the issuance of recall 25V-274, NHTSA has closed PE25001. ODI continues to receive a significant number of reports of engine failure in vehicles outside the scope of 25V-274.  This presents a potential safety risk that warrants further investigation.  ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis (EA) to further evaluate the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues of vehicles built outside the recall scope.

  On January 16, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE25001 after receiving complaints and field reports concerning engine failures in MY2019-2024 GM’s full-size truck and SUV T1XX platform equipped with the L87 6.2L V8 engine. These complainants alleged engine bearing failures resulting in knocking and growling noises from the engine’s bottom end and in some cases more severe consequences such as broken connecting rods leading to engine damage, or engine failure. If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. On April 24, 2025, GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the concern with L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024.  GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM’s  recall remedy will be either an oil change to an oil with a different viscosity or engine replacement depending on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. To date, ODI has received 1,157 allegations of engine bearing failure. GM submitted 55,464 reports in total, with 29,752 unique VINs. ODI continues to receive allegations of L87 engine failures which fall outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. Based on GM’s recall, ODI will close this PE. NHTSA will continue to investigate complaints of engine failure outside the scope of recall 25V-274 as part ofEngineering Analysis (EA25007).
