NEW YORK (AP) General Motors is recalling nearly 600,000 vehicles across its Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC brands in the U.S. due to potential manufacturing defects that can cause engine failure.
The recall covers certain Cadillac Escalades and Escalade ESVs; Chevrolet Silverado 1500s, Suburbans and Tahoes; as well as GMC Sierra 1500s, Yukons and Yukon XLs between model years 2021 and 2024.
According to recall documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these vehicles share a gas engine that may have connecting rod or crankshaft component problems, due to supplier manufacturing or quality issues. This can lead to engine damage, and potentially failure, while driving increasing crash risks.
Prior to failure, NHSTA documents warn, impacted drivers may be alerted of these issues through loud knocking or banging noises, the check engine light turning on and/or other driving performance issues, such as reduced propulsion.
As a remedy, dealers will inspect affected vehicles and repair or replace the engine if necessary with newer components, free of charge. Dealers notifications began last week, with owner letters set to be mailed out June 9.
In all, about 597,630 vehicles are covered by the recall, per a notice dated April 24 . But the company estimates that just 3% have the defect.
When asked why owner notification wouldnt start until June 9, GM maintained that it was common to require time to both confirm mailing lists for registered owners and ensure that dealers are prepared. The Detroit-based auto company added that it was continuing to increase engine production, but felt confident about having sufficient supply to service this recall campaign noting that it only expects a small percentage to need replacements.
Drivers can also confirm if their specific vehicle is included in this recall, and find more information, using the NHTSA site and/or GMs recall lookup .
The safety and satisfaction of our customers are the highest priorities for the entire GM team, and were working to address this matter as quickly as possible, GM said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.
An investigation by GM has found 28,102 complaints or incidents across the U.S. related to engine failure of these vehicles between April 2021 and February 2025, including 14,332 reports that alleged loss of propulsion, NHTSA documents note. The probe also identified alleged reports of 12 crashes and 12 injuries, as well as 42 fires but noted that causes were not always clear and that all specifically alleged injuries, for example, were minor or non-physical, and most were not crash related.
纽约（美联社）——通用汽车公司因潜在制造缺陷可能引发发动机故障，正召回其在美国的凯迪拉克、雪佛兰和GMC品牌近60,000辆汽车。
此次召回涉及2021至2024年款的部分凯迪拉克Escalade和Escalade ESV，雪佛兰Silverado 1500、Suburban和Tahoe，以及GMC Sierra 1500、Yukon和Yukon XL。
根据美国国家公路交通安全管理局发布的召回文件，这些车辆使用的汽油发动机可能存在连杆或曲轴组件问题，这主要是由于供应商的制造或质量问题导致的。这可能导致发动机损坏，甚至在行驶过程中发生故障，增加碰撞风险。
在故障发生之前，根据NHSTA的文档，受影响的驾驶员可能会通过巨大的敲击声或碰撞声、检查发动机灯亮起以及其他驾驶性能问题（如动力下降）来警示这些问题。
作为补救措施，经销商将对受影响车辆进行检查，并在必要时使用新的部件免费维修或更换发动机。上周已经开始向经销商发出通知，并计划于6月9日寄出车主信函。
根据4月24日的通知，共有约597,630辆汽车被召回，但该公司估计只有3%的汽车存在缺陷。
当被问及为什么所有者通知要到6月9日才开始时，通用汽车公司（General Motors）表示，这“需要时间”来确认注册所有者的邮件列表并确保经销商已做好准备。这家总部位于底特律的汽车公司补充说，他们将继续增加发动机生产，但有信心“有足够的供应来应对此次召回活动”，并指出只有一小部分人需要更换。
驾驶员还可以通过NHTSA网站和/或GM的召回查询功能，确认其特定车辆是否包含在此次召回中，并获取更多信息。
通用汽车（General Motors）在向美联社（Associated Press）发送的声明中表示，顾客的安全和满意度是整个通用汽车团队的首要任务，他们正努力尽快解决这一问题。
通用汽车（GM）的调查发现，自2021年4月至2025年2月，全美共收到28,102起关于这些车辆发动机故障的投诉或事件，其中14,332起报告声称存在动力丧失问题，国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）的文件中记录了这一点。该调查还发现了12起事故和12起受伤的疑似报告，以及42起火灾的疑似情况，但指出原因并不总是很清楚，例如，所有具体指称的伤害都是“轻微或非物理性的”，且大多数与事故无关。
