GM is recalling 597,630 trucks and SUVs equipped with potentially defective 6.2-liter V8 engines. 
Impacted models include the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500.  The engines may have internal debris or an out of spec crankshaft, which can lead to failure. General Motors is recalling hundreds of thousands of trucks and SUVs equipped with its 6.2-liter V8 engine.  

1. Lemon law, Refund, or Replacement 

I have some questions about this recall

Palmucci v Alloway, 311 N.J. Super. 607 (App. Div. 1998) involved a boat with a serious engine problem that arose shortly after sale.  The dealer offered to replace the head, the consumer disagreed and returned the boat to the dealer.  The New Jersey appellate court rejected the claim saying,  "We conclude that plaintiff had an obligation to allow defendants to try to repair the engine. because defendants never had a chance to try to repair the engine, we cannot infer that the defect was serious and incapable of repair."   Additionally many lemon laws require a certain number of repairs or period of time out of service.  If there is undue delay, and the manufacturer or dealer becomes unable to fix the vehicle, these remedies can be considered.  Additionally prior problems or those after a recall can be considered.      

2. Documentation 

Consumers should document times the vehicle is out of service.    

3. Later Problems 

The recall does not eliminate the manufacturer's obligation to correct issues and problems, and consumers should continue to seek service along with legal remedies.  Some cases may provide compensation for loss of use or inconvenience.
