The personal injury attorneys at Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C. are currently investigating potential defects in General Motors' 6.2L V9 L87 engines, which are installed in several high-profile vehicle models from 2019 to 2024. This investigation includes models such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade. Reports submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlight instances where owners have experienced sudden power loss due to engine seizures, a problem that appears to stem from bearing issues capable of causing connecting rods to breach the engine block.
These mechanical failures not only pose a significant inconvenience but also present grave safety concerns. A seized engine can lead to unexpected power loss during operation, significantly increasing the risk of crashes for both the vehicle occupants and other road users. Despite the accumulation of consumer complaints and an ongoing investigation by the NHTSA, General Motors has yet to issue a formal recall for the affected vehicles. This situation has prompted Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C. to evaluate the possibility of a class action lawsuit on behalf of those who have encountered these engine problems.
Owners of the potentially affected vehicles may be eligible for compensation covering repair costs, diminished vehicle value, and other related damages. With a history of handling consumer protection and class action litigation since 1975, Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C. has assembled a specialized team to review cases related to these engine failures. Their extensive experience in consumer protection matters, particularly in New York and New Jersey, equips them to conduct a thorough investigation into these potential mechanical defects, ensuring that affected vehicle owners receive the attention and justice they deserve.
