GM’s fix for the 6.2L V8 recall is now under federal investigation after more engines failed after the remedy. Here’s what GM did and why NHTSA is taking another look.

NHTSA has escalated its review of GM’s 6.2L L87 V8 recall remedy to an engineering analysis after hundreds of reported post-remedy engine failures. The investigation now covers an estimated one million 2021–2026 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban; GMC Sierra and Yukon; and Cadillac Escalade.

Tim breaks down what federal investigators are examining, why failures after the 0W-40 oil remedy and replacement engines matter, and whether this could lead to a larger recall, a different repair or no further action.

Also in this week’s Truck News Recap: Toyota’s unusual hammer test for Tundra and Lexus V35A engines, Ford Super Duty engine changes, GM’s 200-mile 8-speed transmission repair procedure, California replacement-tire efficiency rules, Ram and Tacoma recalls, 2027 Dodge Durango updates, Jeep news and more.
