GM 6.2L L87 Engine Update – New NHTSA Review & Owner Experiences (Public Information) In this video, I’m sharing a new public update related to GM’s 6.2L L87 V8 engine, including reporting on a new NHTSA Recall Query (RQ26001) as well as the ongoing Engineering Analysis EA25007. This video is not about assigning blame or drawing conclusions. It’s simply a breakdown of publicly available information so owners can understand what’s being reviewed and decide how they want to approach their own situation. I also share two real owner experiences sent to me by viewers: • A 2025 Chevrolet Silverado High Country with a documented engine failure under warranty • A 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 experiencing intermittent engine noise outside of recall and warranty These examples help illustrate why regulators continue to collect data and review owner reports. 🔎 What’s Covered in This Video • Current status of the GM 6.2L L87 reviews • What a Recall Query means vs. an investigation • How this differs from a recall • Why some engines are being reviewed post-recall • How owners choose to document and protect themselves • Real, documented owner experiences 🔗 Public Sources Referenced • GM Authority – Post-Recall L87 Review https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/01/nhtsa-investigating-post-recall-gm-6-2l-l87-engine-failures/ • Autoevolution – NHTSA Reviewing Post-Recall L87 Failures https://www.autoevolution.com/news/nhtsa-investigates-general-motors-l87-small-block-v8-post-recall-engine-failures-264320.html • NHTSA – Report a Safety Concern https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem • NHTSA – Recall & Investigation Lookup https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls 🛠 For Owners Watching Every situation is different. Many owners choose to: • Keep copies of service records and inspections • Record unusual noises or symptoms • Request written diagnoses • Submit reports to NHTSA to ensure issues are documented This video is informational only, so viewers can decide what makes sense for them. 👋 About This Channel I’m Don from Donslife.
