WASHINGTON (Reuters) -GM is recalling nearly 600,000 SUVs and trucks in the United States due to engine issues, it announced on Tuesday. The Detroit automaker is recalling 2021 through 2024 model year Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles with 6.2L V8 gas engines. It said the connecting rod and crankshaft engine components may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage or failure. GM said it identified 12 crashes and 12 injuries in the United States that may be related to the recall issue. Dealers will inspect the engine and, if needed, repair or replace it. Vehicles that pass inspection will be provided a higher viscosity oil, which will also require a new oil fill cap and an oil filter replacement, GM said. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in January opened an investigation into 877,710 GM vehicles over reports of engine failures involving vehicles with the V8 engine. The company subsequently opened its investigation. It identified 28,102 field complaints or incidents in the United States potentially related to failure of the engine due to crankshaft, connecting rod, or engine bearing issues, including 14,332 involving allegations of loss of propulsion.

(Reuters) -The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday it was opening an engineering analysis into 2.2 million Honda (NYSE:HMC) vehicles over concerns related to its engine restarting. Complainants allege the engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection when the Auto Idle Stop function is engaged. Some added a ’jump start’ was required for the vehicle. In January 2023, Honda released a service bulletin addressing the ’failure to restart’ issue in some vehicles and offered a two-stage countermeasure. However, the NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation has received complaints of AIS failure from consumers who have already implemented the countermeasures. The engineering analysis will consider potential safety defects along with collecting additional data regarding Honda’s countermeasure service campaign. The probe covers various Honda vehicles such as its popular Pilot SUV (model years 2016 to 2025) and Ridgeline pickup trucks (model years 2020 to 2025), among others.
