Another class-action suit has been filed against the automaker with the claim that the <a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2025\/04\/30\/gm-recalls-6-2-liter-v8-trucks-and-suvs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:previous recall work;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">previous recall work<\/a> still didn\u2019t fix what\u2019s wrong with the engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2025\/07\/26\/gm-recommits-to-korean-factories\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:GM is doubling down on manufacturing in Korea.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">GM is doubling down on manufacturing in Korea.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Social media has shown a constant stream of new Chevy, <a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2025\/04\/15\/video-cadillac-escalade-head-on-crash-was-entirely-avoidable\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Cadillac;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Cadillac<\/a>, and GMC vehicles loaded onto wreckers after the engine has given up the ghost. After the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration got involved\u00a0 and a recall was issued for GM trucks and SUVs powered by the L87, many assumed that was the end of the saga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">There\u2019s been plenty of postulating about what\u2019s wrong with the L87, like the crankshafts being faulty from the start, problems with overheating, bad connecting rods, etc. But the latest class action lawsuit claims GM knew the V8 engine was faulty before vehicles were sold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">While under the recall the L87 has been replaced, the lawsuit claims the replacement engines as just as bad and doomed to fail as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">What\u2019s more, the new <a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2025\/07\/21\/mazda-faces-class-action-lawsuit-over-missing-features\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:class action lawsuit;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">class action lawsuit<\/a> claims the L87 has defects stretching back to the 2019 model year. That\u2019s interesting considering the NHTSA recall was only for 2021 to 2024 models. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in court, or more likely outside of it, and if it forces GM to take further action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">The problems with the L87 have been a major black eye for GM at a time when <a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2025\/06\/30\/10-best-car-photography-accessories-on-amazon-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:consumers;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">consumers<\/a> have been trying to snatch up V8-powered vehicles amidst a push to shrink engine sizes and replace cylinders with forced induction and\/or electric motors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Has the L87 fiasco harmed GM sales or will it moving forward?
