The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an engineering analysis covering 997,743 General Motors pickups and SUVs equipped with the L87 V-8 engine, spanning model years 2021 through 2026 and including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Yukon. The agency has logged roughly 500 complaints of engine failure in vehicles already repaired under an earlier L87 recall, with about two dozen requiring full engine replacement, plus 191 reports of failures in vehicles built after that recall's coverage period. GM issued the original recall last year and attributed the defect to a supplier, and has separately disclosed roughly $500 million in incremental costs tied to the L87 issue. The probe follows GM's own receipt of nearly 7,000 complaints of post-repair engine failure, raising concerns that the original fix may be inadequate and could lead to a second, more expensive recall.
