Chevy not giving extended warranties after 6.2 recall?

Had the engine recall inspection today for my 2024 6.2l Silverado. Naturally, the  dealership says it passed (of course they don’t want to do warranty work) and when I asked about the extended warranty that I had read about I was told that’s not the case and I only had the remainder of the original factory warranty. Can this be right? Also, since I bought this truck I have had an intermittent multiple cylinder misfire. Several times a week the engine begins violently misfiring, sometimes even triggering the CEL to flash. If I pull over and turn the engine off then restart it goes away. I’ve had it in to the dealership twice now to check this, once back in April and now again today while performing  the recall work. Both times I’m told that they can see the P0300 codes in the history but but that because the CEL is not currently on and they did not experience the misfire themselves there is nothing they can do. Any suggestions on where I can find out about the warranty and what I can do about the misfire since the local Chevy dealer basically tells me to pound salt?

Check this posting on NHTSA:

Look at special coverage on second page. Here is the text:

This special coverage covers if an engine failure occurs in the vehicle as a result of the condition

described above for a period of 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the

date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.

Just had my '23 Silverado (7500 miles) test done.  Dealer said it passed no issue.  Upgraded oil to 0W40 supercar. 

Fixed!  Right? 

 

Dealer said I did get the extended warranty.  They also said every truck tested (5-6) so far has passed.

My '23 Silverado 6.2 with a hair over 25K is in the shop for the test as I type this. It has zero symptoms so I fully expect it to pass.

 

Silverado8810 - the recall notice you received from Chevrolet/GM advising you to schedule the inspection (same notice I received) states, in writing, (under the "What will we do?" section, paragraph 2) that the engine warranty is 10 yr/150K miles for this particular issue, if it passes the inspection/test.

 

Whover advised you otherwise at the dealer is misinformed.

The special coverage is extended for engine failure ONLY. 

 

If you've got a bad plug or a coil or injector causing that misfire, it would only be covered under either bumper to bumper or regular powertrain 5/60 potentially, depending on what's causing the issue.

 

The 10/150k extended warranty is only for 6.2 engine failure.  So even after the new oil, if it locks up running or is knocking and spun bearings, they will replace the engine.  If you passed the test, you have this coverage.

yes, my understanding is the extended warrany is for IF it fails for that particular issue.

See post #2 above: “if an engine failure occurs in the vehicle as a result of the condition described above…”

I was told that if the vehicle was made in Canada and imported to the US, the extended warranty is void for the hundred thousand mile 10 year powertrain on the 6.2 L

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
