I own a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with the 6.2L V8 (L87), covered by Recall 25V‑274. I believe the remedy does not establish that my vehicle is safe, and GM has declined to confirm that it is. My truck was inspected under the recall in August 2025. It passed, and the oil was changed to 0W-40. I later returned to the dealer to complete the recall work, where the new oil fill cap was installed. Before the remedy, the truck had been driven roughly 30,000 miles on the original oil, including repeated towing during a move. the federal safety agency’s EA26005 states it has received complaints of engine failure after both the oil change remedy and engine replacement, and that GM reported thousands of complaints of post-remedy engine failure. My vehicle received the same remedy. I asked GM in writing to confirm my engine does not have the defect and will not fail or lose propulsion because of it, or to explain whether the inspection can determine the condition of internal engine components. GM did not answer those questions. Its reply stated only that the remedy was performed “to help affected vehicles avoid the defect condition,” that the new oil “offers increased protection against engine damage,” and pointed to extended engine coverage. I drive daily in the [XXX] of northern [XXX], on two-lane highways where passing requires the oncoming lane, on long stretches with no cell service and unreliable satellite coverage, and in winter temperatures that regularly fall below zero. GM’s recall filing states that if the engine fails during operation, “the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.” Here, a sudden loss of propulsion is a serious risk to anyone in the vehicle. Warranty coverage does not address that risk, because it applies only after a failure. I ask that the federal safety agency consider my vehicle and these conditions in its investigation of the Recall 25V‑274 remedy. I have an open case with GM’s executive customer care team.

I have a 2022 Chevrolet Z71 with a 6.2 l L87 engine. The motor blew up for what the recall is for from chevrolet.The crank and all that stuff seized up while my step son was driving it was told to burn Chevalier of rock. Hill, where they said, yep, this is the exact recall problem that we've been having with all these trucks. And the truck still isn't running, right?It's still knocking and making weird sounds and losing power after getting a new motor

I am reporting an engine failure on my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine, following completion of the federal safety agency Safety Recall 25V‑274 (GM N252494000). The recall was performed when my vehicle already had over 150,000 miles. At that time, GM performed the oil-and-cap remedy rather than replacing the engine. Approximately 9,000 miles after the recall repair, at approximately 193,000 miles, the engine began making knocking noises and subsequently required replacement. There was no low-oil warning that we observed before the failure ( both in the vehicle nor on the app) and we were not aware of any oil leaks. The vehicle had also been serviced by our local mechanic approximately 3,000 miles before the failure, at which time the mechanic advised that an oil change was not necessary. I am concerned that this failure may be related to the connecting-rod or crankshaft defects identified in the original GM recall and that the recall remedy may not have adequately corrected the problem. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review this complaint as a possible engine failure following completion of Recall 25V‑274 and consider it in its investigation of post-recall engine failures. This vehicle is currently at a dealership waiting for an engine replacement. In speaking with the service manager at this dealership, he agreed that this was related to the recall and actually said to me that he felt that by replacing the oil with the heavier oil (as recommended by the recall), is probably the what caused the engine failure.

These 6.2 Liters are failing and there is no fix. GM claims my motor passed a test but not knowing if and when it will break down leaving me stranded or worse in a horrible accident with engine failure is not safe. My lane assist is now out as well, the version is old and GM wants to charge to update it (only 60k miles on the truck). Top it off with this new recall my oil changes are over $150 for supercar oil. The deprecation of this truck with know recalls is another issue. I can't get rid of this because it isn't worth much anymore. DO NOT BUY GM OR CHEVY!! So sad to see them fail their customer like this.

My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with the 6.2L L87 engine suffered a sudden catastrophic engine failure after passing the inspection for Recall 25V274 at approximately 70,000 miles and being returned to service. While I was pulling into my driveway, the engine abruptly shut off as though the ignition had been turned off. It would crank but would not restart. The sudden loss of propulsion while the vehicle was moving created a safety concern; a similar shutdown in traffic could cause a crash. The Chevrolet dealership disassembled the engine and documented multiple lifters stuck in their bores, requiring excessive force to remove, and deep cylinder-wall scoring that could catch a fingernail. The dealer determined that the block damage required complete engine replacement and replaced the engine. The dealer attributed the failure to lack of oil or improper maintenance and denied recall-related coverage, stating that the failure involved the upper engine rather than the crankshaft or connecting-rod bearings covered by the recall. I strongly dispute the poor-maintenance conclusion. Oil changes were performed regularly. The dealer told me the oil was somewhat low but still within the operating range when the truck arrived after the failure. I ask the federal safety agency to review this sudden engine failure following completion of Recall 25V274 and whether the recall inspection/remedy adequately addresses the risk of subsequent engine failure. I am not asserting that a particular manufacturing defect caused this failure; the underlying cause remains disputed. Availability of the failed engine for further inspection is unknown.

I experienced a crankshaft bearing failure while driving my 6.2L V8 Chevrolet Silverado on the highway / freeway. Thankfully I was able to exit highway / freeway to avoid a car collision due to loss of power. My truck was towed to a certified Chevy dealer. This is a known issue for 2019-2026 6.2L V8 L87 engines. The truck was previously inspected by a certified Chevy dealer for prior L87 engine recall. It passed and they changed the oil type to 0w-40. Prior to this event, my truck was at the dealer for a low oil pressure issue / oil pan replacement. I picked it up from the dealer after the vehicle was repaired and drove it for about three days and then experienced the crankshaft bearing failure. No warning lamps illuminated prior to failure. My truck is currently at the dealer waiting for a new engine.

the federal safety agency VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 Trail Boss Engine: 6.2L V8 VIN: [XXX] Selling Dealer: Harris Hankins Chevrolet, Bay Springs, Mississippi I purchased this 2022 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 Trail Boss from Harris Hankins Chevrolet in Bay Springs, Mississippi. The truck is equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine and has experienced repeated and serious engine failures. The vehicle is currently operating on its third engine. The original factory-installed engine suffered a major engine failure at approximately 27,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to a Chevrolet dealership, where the original engine was replaced. The second engine failed within approximately 30 miles of leaving the dealership following the first engine replacement. This failure resulted in the vehicle requiring another engine replacement. The truck is now operating with its third engine. I have periodically noticed abnormal valvetrain noise coming from this third engine. Considering that the first two engines experienced major failures, I am very concerned that this abnormal valvetrain noise may indicate another developing engine problem or potential engine failure. This 2022 Chevrolet Silverado has therefore experienced two major engine failures at very low mileage and is now on its third engine, which is periodically exhibiting abnormal valvetrain noise. I believe these repeated engine failures represent a serious vehicle safety concern. A sudden engine failure or loss of propulsion while traveling at highway speeds or in traffic could create a dangerous situation for the driver, passengers, and other motorists. I am requesting that the federal safety agency formally document my vehicle’s history and investigate these repeated failures involving the Chevrolet/GM 6.2L V8 engine. The dealership has the service records and repair documentation concerning the previous engine failures and engine replacements.
