'22 Duramax Stop Sell?

[StephenPT]

I've been keeping an eye on incoming '22 and '23 Duramax's and noticed most of the '22's say "This vehicle is temporarily unavailable." Is this affecting anyone on the forums order? If so, has the dealer told you why there's a stop sell? I reached out on one and the receptionist didn't know why - didn't expect her to but evidently GM has found an issue with the '22s and needs to correct it before they sell these. For the record I don't see any of the '23's with this note on them.

It is possible they are in the time frame for the 3rd row seatbelt rivet recall, or they are still waiting on chips, or GM has decided the 22's that are still stuck in midlothian are to be parted out as they have been sitting there for the better part of 6 months. But that is just speculation from me.

 

[StephenPT]

Ahh - you're right, it's likely the 3rd row seatbelt buckle recall. I had assumed it was a Duramax thing because when I delimited the inventory to the gas engines I didn't see that note under any of them - I did it again and scrolled down farther and now I see the gas engines have that note as well. Nevermind! This isn't a Duramax issue...

As far as sitting in Midlothian for 6 months+ it does make me wonder if the factory fill of DEF is still usable? Or do they just put in a small amount at the factory so it runs and then the dealer adds it during PDI?

If gas vehicle doesn't have hold on them, I doubt that it seat belt problem there is something about the Duramax probably.

I just bought my 3.0L Yukon on Halloween, the dealer didn't say anything about a stop sale. Ran my VIN on GM's recall center and had no recalls. I'm not sure what it would be.

Was your new vehicle in stock or had it just arrived at dealer. There is a build date on driver's door opening.

 

[Jellyfrosh]

It just arrived a day prior but the build date is June 2022.

If the hold is for duramax problem GM probably fixed whatever was the problem at factory on yours and ones in stock at dealers will lag behind that's if duramax is why they are on hold. Being build date is June your vehicle seems to have been on hold for something. I have a friend that has a 2021 duramax great truck he really likes it.

There is no hold or stop sale on duramax.

There is a HP/Torque increase for 2023 3.0L Duramax. Maybe production has ended for 2022 versions.

That is the redesigned lz0 duramax. Currently it is lm2. The trucks are already getting the lz0 this year. The suvs are rumored to get it in 2024 with the refresh.

It’s June 2022 that they start cutting off 2022 orders. After that orders have to start shift to 2023 and at this time, in the plant I was recently told that vast majority is the 2022s being built and 2023s have also begun. They have to also do a shut down to switch things over to 2023 for production products too. So they may have stopped building 2022 online. They have a 2023 YUKON Denali ultimate package in production for me as well.

Duramax is not 100% available. Never has been. It's a low availability option. That doesn't mean they are not making them. Just in smaller quantities and it's based on dealer allocations. If your dealer doesn't have any allocations you could be waiting forever.
