The problem comes from manufacturing flaws inside key engine parts, such as the crankshaft and connecting rods. These flaws can cause serious engine damage, making the engine lose power or stop working completely. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) started looking into these problems after 39 complaints about engine failures.
What This Means for Vehicle Owners
Owners of affected vehicles should take their cars to authorized GM dealerships for an inspection. If the engine passes, the dealership will replace the oil filter and oil cap and switch to a thicker 0W-40 oil. Engines that do not pass will need repairs or a full replacement.
