New bulletin/Campaign 6.2 L87

[Byrds8]

Mine passed inspection. I expected nothing less really. I had them on video making a comment how the inspections never worked lol. Oil changed and new cap with 10yr 150mi warranty.

Got a letter stated it may be a few mouths before anything is done, stated  NO recall has been issued yet on my truck? No Parts available.  Not sure how that plays into the inspection?

I received that letter for my traded truck yesterday. At least it's not my problem now..

I got my letter yesterday.  It says wait for another letter telling you when to bring it in for inspection .

Sad.

Anyone trade their 6.2 in for a new truck?

I think we've tested 7 trucks?  All have passed so far.  5 used inventory, 2 customer vehicles.

Wow, that's all? How come so few tested?

Most likely due to not everyone getting letters yet.  Still rolling out.

I traded my 2021 AT4 in on a 2025 ZR2 with the baby max. Mine had the recall and just didn't want to go through the hassle.

I talked to my dealer and he said he can't even take my truck in on trade because of the open recall. 

But...I bet he could get the truck in for the inspection if I was serious about trading. 

I'm still on the fence.

No issues trading mine. In fact, a dealership manager bought it for himself. Obviously they aren't concerned.

Just got my letter. Just like others have said, mine pretty much says to wait until it blows up because they have no parts. Sounds like they're just trying to appease the NHTSA, because no parts would be needed to just do an inspection, aside from oil and a filler cap. I guess they feel it's best to continue to gamble with us all, like they've been doing all along, because they sure don't seem to be in a rush to try and help get these motors replaced, or do anything to help prevent these motors from blowing up. Obviously, they likely don't have enough crate 6.2s to go around, and maybe already know that the 40 weight oil really can't fix the problem, but trying to placate the NHTSA by making them think they are doing at least a little something to stave off the problem. I would think that, if they really thought the 40 weight oil would really help, they would at least advise to change to that oil in the meantime.

My guess is they want you to trade, that way they make more $ off you.

They didn't make anything on my trade with a employee buying it. All they got was what the dealer makes off supplier discount. They didn't get rich off my purchase.

Got my letter yesterday as well. I agree it makes little sense to wait on the inspection and oil change because of the writing on the fill cap. Why not do everything else to prevent engine lock up (and potential injury/death/insert NHTSA language here) and let me know when you got a cap available? They could even put a few stickers under the hood to help us remember we need 0-40 oil.

 

I also received a letter from a law firm looking for my information for a class action lawsuit. The only folks making money on all of this are the lawyers.
