GM 6.2 Liter Engine, Defect Overview

Posted by Howard Gutman | Mar 20, 2026 | 0 Comments

  1. Nature of Defect The GM's L87 V8 engines have a common defect regarding the bearings in their engines which are prone to, and have experienced failure, 
    resulting in breaching of the engine block by the connecting rod and/or engine  seizure (the “Bearing Defect”).

  2. Oil Consumption Some owners have complained of excessive oil consumption and that is noted in the class action filing. 
     
  3. Class Action Claim   A class action has been filed in Ritterreinser v General Motors, Case 4:25-cv-11481, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan. 

  4. Recall  The Vehicle is subject to GM's N252494000 engine recall. Questions have been raised about the sufficiency of the recall and availability of parts.

    Other pages on the site mention the 6.2 engine issue in passing (e.g., in "Common Problems on Vehicles" or sidebars linking to these articles), but the ones listed above are the dedicated pages focused on it. The site is run by a lemon law attorney and emphasizes NY/NJ claims, recalls, and class actions. If you're dealing with this issue, the pages often suggest contacting the firm for a free consultation.
