Learn what class action lawsuits, investigations and individual lemon lawsuits entail, and then learn if your GMC, Chevrolet or Cadillac vehicle may be experiencing warrantable 6.2-L engine defects.
Which vehicles have the GM 6.2-L Engine?
According to ClassActions.org, these vehicles have the 6.2-L engine:
- 2019-2024 GMC Yukon
- 2019-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe
- 2019-2024 Cadillac Escalade

Does a GM 6.2-L Engine Class Action Lawsuit exist?
Not yet. However, if a class action lawsuit is filed, you can expect an update both on ClassActions.org and on our website.
What defects do the GM 6.2-L Engines have?
Gleaning information from complaints made on online forums and to federal regulators, owners of GM vehicles with 6.2-L engines reported that their vehicles experienced engine failure while driving. Their vehicles would unexpectedly lose power and, often, these sudden losses of motive power would come without warning.
GM vehicle owners suspect that these 6.2-L engine failures come from some underlying defect yet to be discovered.
What do I do if a GM 6.2-L Class Action Lawsuit is filed?
The first thing to do is understand your rights under a class action lawsuit. These types of lawsuits aim to represent a large group of people experiencing a broadly similar issue. In this case, a potential GM Engine Lawsuit would try to represent many people with broadly similar vehicle models experiencing the same manufacturing defect.
If a lawsuit is filed and your vehicle make, model and year are included, contact an attorney to confirm if your vehicle is included. Class action lawsuits have their benefits. However, the downside of a class action lawsuit is that, depending on what individuals experience with their cars, they may only get a piecemeal portion of the final settlement.
How can a GM engine lemon law claim help me?
If your Chevrolet, GMC or Cadillac vehicle has an engine issue that your local dealership or authorized repair facility has not been able to fix, your vehicle may be a lemon. A “lemon” is a colloquial term for a defective vehicle. Under the California Lemon Law, a vehicle is considered defective if it has not been repaired within a reasonable number of repair attempts to conform to warranty.
If you pursue a lemon law claim in California, you can sue for charges specific to your situation and win a vehicle replacement or a repurchase of your vehicle. If General Motors is found to have willfully violated the California Lemon Law, you may be able to win up to three times the approximate cost of your vehicle.
How do I opt out of a class action lawsuit?
Our lemon law attorneys can help you opt out of a class action lawsuit so that you can retain your individual right to sue the auto manufacturer. Typically, a class action lawsuit against an auto manufacturer will have a specific deadline for opting out. We can help you find that deadline and, if the deadline has not yet passed, opt out of the lawsuit.
