THEY WERE "SERVICE ESC", "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE" "STEERING ASSIST REDUCED" AND TO DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 62 MPH. PRIOR TO PARKING THE NIGHT BEFORE ON 12/25/2019 I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER.

THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT WITH NO APPARENT POWER ASSIST.

I TOOK IT TUESDAY 12/17/19 IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 4K MILES TO GET UNDER 7K SERVICE. FOR MY 2019 HIGH COUNTRY. AS I WAS NOTIFIED I WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I LOOKED ON ONSTAR. SAW THERE WAS A RECALL AND FIGURED THEY COULD TWO THINGS AT ONCE. COME TO FIND OUT THERE WERE THREE RECALLS. WHICH I GET IT, THINGS HAPPEN. I GET IT HOME TUESDAY NIGHT NO ISSUES. THURSDAY 12/19/19 AROUND 6 PM, AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULDN'T STOP. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES. I AM 6'2' AND 300 LBS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EASILY STOPPING. I HAD NUMEROUS DASHBOARD DISPLAYS. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DISPLAYED ITEMS. I CALLED RICK HENDRICK CHEVROLET AT 6:53 PM ON 12/19/19 AND SINCE I LIVE CLOSE DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER, AS I WAS HEADED OUT OF TOWN SUNDAY AND WANTED THIS FIXED. SO.... HERE COMES THE ISSUE BESIDES IT NOT STOPPING THAT I AM EVEN MORE FIRED UP ABOUT! THE SERVICE GUY, CALLED ME FRIDAY MORNING TO SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW, WITH THE DISPLAY SAYING SERVICE ESC, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM, AND BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE NOT TO GO ABOVE 62 MPH, I AM PRETTY SURE IT TRIGGERED AN CODE AND WOULD BE IN CODE HISTORY. I TOLD HIM I HAD PICTURES OF THE DASH DISPLAY AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHECK THE CODE HISTORY. HE TOLD ME AT ONE POINT IT WAS THE VACUUM, BUT THEN TOLD ME THAT THE VACUUM WAS AN ISSUE WITH LAST YEARS MODEL. AND THAT HE WAS HAVING HIS MASTER TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT. AROUND 4 PM ON FRIDAY, WITH A FAMILY TRIP COMING UP SUNDAY 12/22/19 AND NOT HEARING ANYTHING I CALLED A FEW TIMES TO FIND OUT IF I NEEDED TO RENT A CAR OR THEY COULD GET ME A LOANER. I GOT A CALL AROUND 5:13 PM ON 12/19/19 TELLING ME IT'S READY AND THEY REINSTALLED THE SOFTWARE AND THE MASTER TECHNICIAN DROVE IT. SAID HE IS COMFORTABLE. I WAS SCARED THEN AND SCARED NOW TO PUT THEM BACK IN THAT VEHICLE.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY BRAKES FELT SOFT AND SEEMED UNRESPONSIVE. PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE AND STARTED MOVING FORWARD AND WHEN I TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH ABOUT 5-10% BRAKING POWER. TRUCK BARELY STOPPED BEFORE ENTERING MOVING CROSS TRAFFIC. TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE DISPLAYING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE SPEED LIMITED TO 62 MPH. LIMPED TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES. EVERY TIME I HAD TO STOP I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TWICE AND ON THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED I WOULD GAIN APPROXIMATELY 50% BRAKING POWER. TRUCK HAS ALREADY HAD ALL RECALLS PERFORMED AND SPECIFICALLY, THE RECALLS RELATED TO "FIXING" THIS EXACT ISSUE. DEALER PUT THE TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AND EXPLAINED ONLY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN ACTIVATED DUE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM BUT COULDN'T SAY WHAT HAPPENED. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO HAVE ME DRIVE THE TRUCK HOME, 40 MILES ON THE FREEWAY, AND BRING BACK IN 3 DAYS FOR AN APPOINTMENT. FEELING THIS WAS AN UNSAFE OPTION I REQUESTED THEY KEEP THE TRUCK UNTIL IT COULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND TO PUT ME IN A LOANER OR PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION WHICH THEY DID.

WE TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE VERY DISMISSIVE SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. AT THE DEALERSHIP WE DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY. LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T WANT TO CHECK IT. THE TRUCK ALSO HAD TWO RECALLS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTATION THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR STREET? MY FAMILIES SAFETY IS NOTHING TO BE DISMISSIVE ABOUT.

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.

PE25001 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure
Opened Jan 16, 2025 · Closed Oct 23, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical
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).
