GM Facing Potential Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged 6.2L V9 L87 Engine Defects

Personal injury attorneys at Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C. are investigating potential widespread engine defects in multiple General Motors vehicle models, focusing on critical safety concerns related to engine seizures and mechanical failures.

The investigation centers on GM vehicles equipped with 6.2L V9 L87 engines, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, and related models produced between 2019 and 2024.

Reports submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate owners have experienced sudden power loss due to potentially catastrophic engine failures. These mechanical issues appear to stem from bearing failures that could cause the engine to seize or result in connecting rods breaching the engine block.

The potential defect presents significant safety risks, as a sudden engine seizure could cause unexpected power loss while driving, dramatically increasing crash possibilities and endangering vehicle occupants and other road users. Despite growing consumer complaints and NHTSA investigation, General Motors has not yet issued a formal recall for the affected vehicles.

Impacted vehicle owners might be eligible for compensation covering repair costs, diminished vehicle value, and potentially other damages. The law firm is evaluating the possibility of a class action lawsuit to address these widespread mechanical issues.

Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C., with extensive experience in consumer protection and class action litigation, has dedicated a specialized team to review cases involving these engine failures. Their investigation aims to protect consumer interests and hold manufacturers accountable for potential systemic vehicle defects.
