Additional PIs will be published for each engine or component as they are introduced. During the launch of the 2023 model year, the following engine will be under an exchange program: 5.5L (LT6) Product teams continually seek valuable information for engineering improvements. To assist in this effort, an engine exchange program will be used for the listed engine and vehicles. Any repairs involving engine components not identified in the table below, engine noise concerns, oil consumption, or related symptoms may require an engine exchange. Important: Engine block and internal components along with any component in which a cylinder head has to be removed to perform the repair will require an engine exchange. Please note that this list is subject to change as the program progresses. You will be notified by the PQC consultant if additional items are considered serviceable on a particular engine. The 2023 model year engine exchange program will be administered by the GM Product Quality Center (PQC). Dealerships are required to contact the PQC, not GM Technical Assistance (TAC), to request an exchange. Prior to contacting the PQC, please make sure to complete the “OEM Engine Exchange” template in this PI. Use of the templates will minimize the time spent in contact with the PQC and to avoid the need of a second interaction. Guidelines for honoring exchange requests under this program are being strictly enforced. The PQC may refer the dealer technician to TAC if additional diagnosis is required. TAC will be available for product inquiries that do not require assembly replacement. Please have the part number available prior to contacting TAC/PQC. U.S. Dealers: Please contact the Product Quality Center (PQC) by opening a new case via Dealer Case Management (DCM) From the DCM home page, click on “New PQC Case” found on the Technical Assistance tab. Canadian Dealers: If your diagnosis leads to a possible part replacement, please contact the PQC by email at PQC@gm.com or by calling 1-866-654-7654 to receive the PQC -Parts Restriction Template then, return the completed Parts Restriction Questions for engineering review. Components that may be removed and serviced without exchange are identified by an “X” in the appropriate column of the table below. Any repairs involving engine components not identified in the table below, engine noise concerns, oil consumption, or related symptoms may require an engine exchange. Important: Engine block and internal components along with any component in which a cylinder head has to be removed to perform the repair will require an engine exchange.

Important: Engine repairs or failures that are caused by components external to the engine do NOT fall under the exchange program. For example, if an engine failure is caused by incorrectly installed engine coolant lines, the engine assembly (or parts required to complete a repair) must be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A) through the normal parts ordering process. The exchange program is created as a way to correct internal concerns and to take what is learned and find a way to eliminate these concerns. External components causing a failure do not provide any useful information in improving an engine. The engine received from GMCC&A through the normal parts ordering process will be a new service engine. Engine Broadcast Code Location: 5.5L (LT6) Is located on the engine front cover: A thorough diagnosis must be performed on the condition in order to prevent unnecessary component replacements. Contact the Product Quality Center (PQC) to verify the proper diagnosis has been performed.
