[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 264771, member: 3252"] [HEADING=2]General Motors V8 Engine Valve Lifter Lawsuit Claims Recall Is Needed[/HEADING] It appears that news is spreading about a class action law suit that has started in regards to engine valve lifters and engine fuel management design. This affects many 2014-present models of 5.3, 6.0 and 6.2 equipped vehicles. Yoikes … I have 3 of them in my stable. One which I got in 2019 to replace a 2015 Sierra with a 5.3 that had the engine fail on at least 2 cylinders. I was not privy to the details of the repair when a dealer stepped up to get me into a new 2019 Sierra with a 6.2 as the repair was going to take at least 8 weeks for parts (GM labor strike at the time). Now I am wondering if I experienced one of these failures that GM told me was an anomaly event. 🤔 As this involves every C7 Corvette, I thought it best to post. You can google “GM lifter class action” and get a GM Authority webpage and a report/posting on the Corvette Blogger … among others. Will be warching for how this unfolds. Here’s a clip from GM Autoroty … “This class-action lawsuit includes vehicles equipped with either the [URL='https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l83/']EcoTec3 GM 5.3L[/URL] or [URL='https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l87/']6.2L V8[/URL] engines, or the older [URL='https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l96/']6.0L Vortec V8[/URL].
