Glad we opted to not go with a Denali and went with the 5.3 in our 2022 Yukon XL. Sure the lifters sh!t the bed at 3500 miles, but beats a potential engine recall / replacement.

Great looking ride! Is that a 2025? Check your build date. Supposedly at this time the 2025's are not included in the recall. GM is saying “A series of crankshaft and connecting rod manufacturing improvements implemented on or before June 1st, 2024, addressed contamination and quality issues. Model-year 2025 vehicles were built after these improvements and are not included in the recall.” Whether that is true or GM is just blowing smoke is debatable, but I would think they were well aware of the issue and had to implement a fix at some point.

Lots of information here and some off the wall opinions:

Also, this discussing the newer engines not being affected:

Unfortunately it is a 23, I usually lease vehicles, and just with everything, it was just as expensive to lease a Yukon Elevation with the features we wanted, as it was to buy this used 23, with all the options. I'm hearing mixed reveiws, of people with 2025's saying their engines have blown up as well. I know all the guys at the dealership, and most of them are running something with the 6.2, and they all said the same thing. "It sucks, but we are basically all in this together". Again my mind was at ease, becasue of the free GM warranty, plus my experience with my previous truck, and how the dealer went to bat for me. So gives me the confidence that if anything does happen, they will have my back. I think that makes a big difference.
