The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 introduces a few important updates and changes over the refreshed 2022 model year, once again offering four different powertrain options. Among these is the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Critically, some units of the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 were equipped with turbo 2.7L engines with a cracked block.
To address this issue, GM has issued a new Customer Satisfaction Program. The Customer Satisfaction Program was released in February of 2024 and is tagged as N232415060, Block Main Oil Gallery Hot Core Pin Casting Defect. This particular Customer Satisfaction Program only applies to units of the Chevy Silverado 1500 produced for the 2023 model year. It’s currently unclear exactly how many units are affected, however, the Customer Satisfaction Program also applies to units of the 2023 Chevy Colorado, as GM Authority covered previously.
According to the new Customer Satisfaction Program, some units of the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 were equipped with engines that were manufactured with cracks in the block. To fix this issue, GM is instructing dealers to replace the engine on all affected units.
This is GMCs mistake, yet why do I feel we ALL will be paying to bail them out of a hole…..AGAIN.
