The recall follows a January investigation​ by U.S. auto safety regulators into reports of engine failure in certain GM vehicles.

General Motors is recalling hundreds of thousands of trucks and SUVs equipped with its 6.2-liter V8 engine. It turns out some internal components may have manufacturing defects, the kind that don’t just hurt performance, but can actually cause serious damage or even complete engine failure.

General Motors Co. will voluntarily recall certain trucks and SUVs after nearly 900,000 vehicles were investigated for engine failure in January, the company confirmed in a statement.
