    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    For whatever reason, I think the "Incomplete. Remedy not available" status only shows up on the GM website, not in the app. For my Tahoe, I believe I see exactly what you showed in the app. But on the website, I see this:

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I think what he is saying is, the recommended oil for his engine will now be 0W-40, and so it means that every oil change will cost him a little more - GM is not footing the bill for the more expensive oil going forward, whether you get it changed at a GM dealership or elsewhere. It's just an...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Just out of curiosity, does the GM owners site and/or the app already reflect the 150k mile special warranty for your vehicle?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I believe someone posted the terms of the 150k mile warranty awhile back. But this thread is too long for me to go try to find it. However, I would assume if your current engine gets replaced under that special warranty, then that special warranty would NOT apply to the new replacement engine as...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I’m with you. I have 0W-40 in mine currently as well. I believe someone else said they may switch back to 0W-20 when it’s time to take theirs in for inspection. I will make a decision on that later once I can take it in. Glad your engine tested fine, that is good. When it comes time to take...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    What oil were you running when you took it in for the inspection procedure? I am NOT trying to restart the oil debate here. Just curious what you had in yours when it was inspected.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I will note, even though it sounds like we were seeing slightly different things in the app, that mine has always had a "Schedule service" button at the bottom, which I think is kind of a generic button/link. What I mean is, my status shows as "Incomplete. Remedy not available", but there is...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I suppose that is progress at least. I've started checking mine on the GM website more frequently, but I'm still showing a status of "Incomplete. Remedy not available"

    AAPL Car Key & Revised CarPlay Later ……

    Yeah, again I would expect that the newest version of CarPlay will be available in your vehicle as soon as (1) Apple releases iOS 26 and (2) you install it on your iPhone. And I am pretty confident that Apple will release iOS 26 when they said they will, given that timing is usually aligned with...

    AAPL Car Key & Revised CarPlay Later ……

    The latest CarPlay should be available (even on earlier models than 2025). Isn't the CarPlay software on your iPhone? So once your iPhone software gets updated to iOS 26, the latest version of CarPlay should appear and be active in your vehicle. At least, that is what I've always experienced...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Good luck, keep us posted! What year and model do you have?

    Full Screen CarPlay?

    I don’t believe so, or at least I’ve never figured it out in my 2023 ‘hoe.

    2021 Tahoe Illuminated door sills

    Although I had mine installed at the dealer, a number of people on here have self-installed and did not need to have anything performed at the dealer, as far as I know.

    Tahoe Fog lights

    No, I don’t plan to order them. And I agree with you, given some of the previous posts, it sounds like this company might be a challenge anyway.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Seems unlikely (to me) that the recall campaign has officially started. But maybe the dealer had the tool (pico scope or whatever it’s called) and followed the outlined testing procedure on that truck as kind of an unofficial experiment, and assuming it passed, went ahead and changed the oil? Or...

    Tahoe Fog lights

    The same company that makes those fog lights, also offers "Z71 Amber Illuminated Inserts". Thoughts? I'm on the fence on these - kind of like it, but also acknowledge they're sort of poseur/silly on the Tahoe, since the real reason for those lights on Raptors, TRX's, etc. is that they are...

    Intermittent Radio On Start Up

    Yep - the radio issues are much less of a big deal compared to the potential for our engines to fail on us, right?

    Intermittent Radio On Start Up

    I’m not aware of anything else that you can do, other than keep getting the software updates at the dealership whenever they are available, and hope for the best. I believe Y172 is the latest, but I could be wrong on that.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Not that I have anymore information than anyone else, but I would say, don't wait for the "free" oil change. If GM starts sending out letters in early to mid June, that is still at least a couple weeks from now. And I think some have said on here that it likely will happen in waves (ranges of...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I was able to login with no issues this afternoon. When I pull up the recall info, it still shows "Incomplete. Remedy not available."

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    The FAQs indicate that there may be warning signs prior to engine failure ("knocking, banging, or other unusual engine noises", CEL, no-start, abnormal shifting, etc.). But in general, it doesn't seem like people are reporting experiencing any of these signs? Or, are they ignoring them?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Not that anyone asked, but I had my oil changed to 0W-40 today. I have been on the fence about this for awhile, but after reading everything here, watching the videos with the motor oil geek guy, etc., I decided there probably wasn't much downside. We have a 4-5 hour each way trip coming up for...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Yes, I agree with you. Seems like in your case, even though your 2025 is not included in the recall, it would be advisable to use the 0W-40.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Nevertheless, I would expect that the correct answer is yes - sounds like these engines should have been recommended/required to use the 0W-40 from the start, right?
