Wasn't that the springs debacle back in mid 2020 to March 2021? I think I looked after mine arrived off the truck and it was an April build date on the engine so I was relieved. NHTSA's site says I'm part of this current recall, but I need to get under there and check again for the exact date.

I'm not even sure it's worth my time to take it to the local dealer given my upgrades. Just swap out the oil and pray nothing happens until I get the funds and replace all the internals myself. I do have a decent report with them...I suppose the worse they can tell me is no.

 

 

I "could" be wrong but if the recall doesn't get closed, I don't think the extended warranty takes effect.  

 

Also.  Replacing the internals yourself is no good if there is block machining issues.

Saw on a YouTube video with some commenters saying after they had their truck tested at the dealer and the oil was changed and the picoscope test performed successfully that in the My Chevrolet app their warranty coverage was updated to show the 10 year 150K mile engine warranty in effect. I checked after I read this and it just shows the recall open for my truck. Haven't been to the dealer or tried to call them yet.

I didn't think you could go in until the recall plan was designated as having a resolution(I haven't checked recently), and we got our official letters. Did anyone here get their letter, yet? 

 

Edit: Just checked. Mine still says:

Remedy not available

Its all in batches.  They aren't releasing all VINs to have it done at once.  Its a phased VIN rollout.

 No news here and mine is very early in the 21 vin sequence. 03/21 with an engine build end of Feb.

What's the consensus on oil weight before the recall is checked with Pico scope? My 24 is due for its first oil change (1300 miles) but not sure what to put in it. I would just go 0w40 but not sure how that will affect the noise test in the recall. Right now my vin says "Remedy not available"

Deleting as WeGone updated his Post details and my post is moot :)

Interesting.  Are you sure you are in the vin range for the recall?  My build was 02/21 and it was built prior to the recall vin range, and was not included, however the engine blew anyways and the engine was replaced.  

Yes my bad on the date 03/21

Your first oil change is free through Chevrolet. I don't know if they'll do it that early though. I changed mine at 1000 miles myself. They would put whatever is deemed necessary in it. Currently it's still 0W20 unless they've done the recall check and determined your engine is OK and should be switched to 0W40.

‘24 ATX4

 

took it in for a routine oil change this week

 

asked about recall. He said they’d put the new oil in now and call me when it was time to do the new engine test. 
 

and he mentioned the warranty being extended.

I just put napa 5w-30 in my september built 2024.  the 40 weight mobil 1 oils according to lake speed jr barely meet the 40 requirement, might as well use 30 which is an excellent oil with valvoline base.  this is my second change, 1st was 1000 miles this one is at 3,900.  i see no obvious forbidden glitter.  oil is going to speed diagnostix for testing.

How does it sound? I took a vid of my new L84, 5.3 at 597 miles. Factory fill 0w20. I changed it out to 5w30 and took another vid. Noticeable difference in sound. After 2`nd 5w30 oil change, even better. The remaining 0w20 was out of the engine.

 

The diesel sound is gone.

Here's my contributing to the thread to help it reach 30 pages. 

 

I read every single post in this thread.  It took a few days, but I got through it.  I have a 2020 6.2, so this issue caused me concerns.  Thank you guys for clearing the air on why the 2020 isn't part of the recall.  I just did an oil change yesterday with Mobil 1 0w-20 Truck & SUV.  The truck was due and that's what I normally use with a Wix XP filter.  I had questions about going with Ow-40, but the info here kept me from doing that. 

 

I don't know how my 2020 has managed to miss every recall so far and TSB so far, but I'm thankful it has.  I love my truck, and I'm very glad I bought it in July 2020

the cold start noise is gone.  could be placebo but it runs better, idles better, probably placebo.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
