General Motors is recalling nearly 600,000 vehicles across
its Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC brands in the U.S. due to
potential manufacturing defects that can cause engine
failure.
The recall covers certain Cadillac Escalades and Escalade
ESVs; Chevrolet Silverado 1500s, Suburbans and Tahoes; as
well as GMC Sierra 1500s, Yukons and Yukon XLs between
model years 2021 and 2024.
According to recall documents published by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these vehicles share
a gas engine that may have connecting rod or crankshaft c
omponent problems, due to supplier manufacturing or quality
issues. This can lead to engine damage and potential failure
while driving, increasing crash risks.

Ummm ... this isn't some stupid little valve or
relay - it's big hard iron in the middle of the
engine. That's $$$+
And they wonder why Euros and Chinese don't want
to buy American cars .......
Admittedly BIG American vehicles aren't very
compatible with Europe ... too many narrow
twisty medieval roads, esp in cities.
