The vehicle began making a loud fan noise in the engine after the summer began (06/2025) and the temperature gauge was elevated but not by a concerning amount. After an oil change (06/21/25) we were told that it was normal because of the weather. A week after the check engine light was coming on intermediately (began 06/28/2025) depending on the day and the temperature outside (we are currently in the middle of a heat wave). The vehicle was taken to the dealership (07/02/2025) where they determined that the coolant flow was too low and found that the engine coolant pump is faulty and needs to be replaced. f the coolant is low in a Chevy Silverado and the engine overheats, it can lead to significant and potentially expensive engine such as a blown head gasket, cracked engine block, or even a complete engine failure or fire.

I was driving on the freeway and smelled gasoline in the cab. I thought nothing of it as I was near a wreck and thought it was from that. About 10 miles down the road I was stopped in traffic and noticed my miles until empty was slowly declining as I was stopped. When I moved forward there was a puddle under my truck. I pulled to the side of the road and fuel was draining from the back of my engine all over the exhaust. I immediately shut the truck off. I cannot believe the gas didn't ignite as those catalytic converters get well over 536°. The truck was towed to the closest Chevrolet dealer over 10 days ago and I have YET to hear anything from them. I bought the truck used from another Chevrolet dealer 3 weeks prior, and it has had the L87 recall.

I own a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 equipped with the 6.2L V8 L87 engine. My vehicle is included in Recall Number 25V274 / N252494000, which addresses manufacturing defects in the connecting rods and/or crankshaft that can cause engine failure. My recall status currently shows: "Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available." However, GM and NHTSA have already stated the remedy: a VIN-specific engine inspection, followed by either a replacement or an oil system update and extended warranty. I contacted my dealership, Lochmandy Chevrolet in Elkhart, Indiana [XXX] ), and was told on June 1, 2025, that they could not inspect my truck due to lack of tools or VIN clearance from GM. I was given no estimated timeline for when I can get my vehicle serviced. My concern is that I’m driving a known defective vehicle with a potential for sudden power loss or engine seizure—a serious safety hazard. My truck currently has 19,500 miles, and I’m worried about continued use without an inspection or remedy. I’m requesting that NHTSA follow up on GM’s delays in remedy deployment, ensure dealerships are equipped for inspections, and provide vehicle owners like me with a firm timeline for repairs. Please open a case and provide a reference number. I can be reached at [XXX] for updates. I am documenting all interactions with GM and my dealership for safety and legal purposes.

So I experienced a P1098 code in my 2023 Chevy Silverado with a 3.0 liter Duramax. When you get this code the truck will go into “limp” mode with reduce (nonexistent) acceleration and only go to about 60 miles per hour (63) I think. This could become a large safety issue if someone was to experience this going down the highway. It is also a VERY common problem doing internet searches. Seems that GM knows this is an issue but does nothing about it. In fact they even tried to remove the part from warranty because it was happening so often. Seems like this is something the government should look into and see what the true cause of the issue is. On the other hand some of the reliability of these engines is caused by the government implementing many restrictions on the manufacture to meet certain requirements. I am frustrated this happened along with probably with thousands of other owners. Thanks!

While driving down the road I let off the accelerator to start applying brakes for a red light I was approaching, then the vehicle shut completely off and down shifted hard. After that it restarted a second later but had no power steering and no brakes. At this point I was approaching the red light with no brakes and power of my vehicle, the other traffic had a green light now and was crossing my lane of travel but I was luckily able to make it through the light in between vehicles without causing any harm to myself or others. After making it through the light I was rolling 10mph still helpless but seen a gas station on my right and rolled into their parking lot and drove towards a curb and used the curb to stop my vehicle. The vehicle had the following warning lights and messages: Lane Change Alert System Off, Brake system failure 62mph top speed, service traction control, service ESC, and trailer brakes disabled service required. I then got the vehicle towed to the dealership while still on and in the running position with all the codes still active. The dealer was able to scan the truck in and see the codes but told me they wouldn’t be able to get to it till the following week so they parked the vehicle and turned it off. When they got to my vehicle the following week they sent me a text and said I quote “Hey ****** its **** from Chevy, I do not have the best news lol he can not get it to act up and there are no current codes he has driven and nothing has happened, as of now there is nothing further he can do”. After receiving that text I called them to just be told they can’t get it to do it again and there is nothing they can do. But I told them I refuse to pick up this vehicle because it had a critical safety issue. This vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure, brakes and steering were lost in an intersection. If not diagnosed properly, this poses a threat to life.

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.

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.
