Consumer Description

The engine failed while driving down the road at night in single digit temperatures. After further investigation, there is a connecting rod sticking out of the engine. I looked to see if there was a recall or anything. Sure enough there was. 2021-2024 Silverado 6.2 liter engines for crank shafts and connecting rod malfunction. I'm curious how my 2021 6.2 liter Silverado that has a connecting rod sticking out the side of the block is not part of this recall?
