On the 2021-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe 6.2L V8 (L87), l87 6.2L V8s built March 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024 can suffer sudden rod-bearing failure and engine seizure with loss of propulsion. GM attributes it to supplier manufacturing/quality issues — sediment/debris left on connecting rods and in crankshaft oil galleries plus out-of-spec dimensions — that starve and pound the rod bearings. NHTSA safety recall 25V-274 (April 2025) covers 44,802 Tahoes among ~600k GM full-size trucks/SUVs; GM logged over 14,000 field complaints and a dozen alleged crashes/injuries. NHTSA has since opened follow-up query RQ26001 into failures on engines outside the recall and on some units that failed after the dealer remedy.

This issue also affects: Buick LeSabre, Buick Park Avenue, Buick Cascada

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden knocking/rattling from engine
  • Loss of propulsion / engine stall
  • Low oil pressure warning
  • Metallic debris in oil
  • Engine seizure

How to Fix

Follow recall 25V-274: dealer inspects the engine and replaces it if it fails inspection; vehicles that pass receive higher-viscosity 0W-40 dexos oil, a new oil filter, and an updated oil-fill cap specifying the new viscosity. Owners hearing a knock, seeing low oil pressure, or getting loss-of-propulsion warnings should stop driving and contact a dealer. Out-of-warranty engine replacement absent recall coverage runs well into five figures — verify VIN eligibility with GM before paying.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $10,000
