On the 2021-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 6.2L V8 (L87), gM recalled roughly 597,630 trucks and SUVs (NHTSA recall, 2025) — including 2021-2024 Silverado 1500 with the 6.2L L87 V8 — for connecting rods and/or crankshafts that may have manufacturing defects (debris in oil passages or out-of-spec parts). Affected engines can seize or knock and suddenly lose propulsion, with documented fire and crash allegations. GM's tally tied to the recall logged about 28,000 complaints, including ~14,300 alleging loss of propulsion. The remedy splits vehicles into two groups: those that fail inspection get a full engine replacement, while those that pass switch from 0W-20 to thicker 0W-40 oil plus a revised service procedure. NHTSA opened a follow-up engineering analysis into post-recall L87 failures, and a class action is pending — this is currently the highest-profile, highest-demand Silverado issue.

This issue also affects: Buick Cascada, Buick Enclave, Buick Encore

Common Symptoms

  • Engine knocking or rod knock
  • Sudden loss of power / loss of propulsion while driving
  • Engine stall and no-restart
  • Low oil pressure warning
  • Metal debris in oil
  • Burning smell or smoke

How to Fix

Check VIN against NHTSA recall and have the dealer perform the recall inspection. Engines that fail inspection receive a free engine replacement; engines that pass receive an oil change to 0W-40 and updated oil-fill-cap/owner guidance. If you experience knocking, a sudden power loss, or low oil pressure, stop driving and contact the dealer — continuing to drive risks total engine destruction and fire.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $12,000
