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.

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

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
