I break down what Canadian owners need to know about the L87 6.2-litre V8, the crankshaft and bearing problem behind the failures, and why the official remedy is facing serious questions. I explain how the Pico test works, what happens if your engine fails inspection, and what GM’s thicker-oil remedy does and does not address. I also cover the changing oil specification, post-recall failures, and the expanding investigation. Finally, I walk through the Canadian recall process, Transport Canada’s role, CAMVAP, VIN delays, warning signs, documentation, and practical steps to take if you own an affected Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, or Escalade.
