Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
• Knocking noise
• Seized engine
• Lower end squeak or squeal
Cause
This condition may be caused by a crankshaft main or rod bearing failure.
Correction
1. Verify there is metal in the engine oil by removing the oil pan.
2. Remove the main or rod bearing caps:
• If the main and/or rod bearing are not the cause of the debris, refer to SI for further diagnostics.
• If the main and/or rod bearings are found to be the cause of the debris, before deciding whether to replace the engine or repair it, refer to the Service Procedure below before making that determination.

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
• Knocking noise
• Seized engine
• Lower end squeak or squeal
Cause This condition may be caused by a crankshaft main or rod bearing failure.

Correction
1. Verify there is metal in the engine oil by removing the oil pan.

Procedure below before making that determination.

Service Procedure
3961448
3961450
1. Inspect the oil control solenoids for metal debris.
This shows the oil filter is in by-pass and unfiltered
oil with bearing debris was pumped into the oil
lubrication galleys, throughout the engine.
3966789
2. Inspect for damage to the cam caps journals and
camshaft journals on the heads (obvious signs of
metal through the cap).
3961451
Bulletin No.: 19-NA-256 August, 2021 Page 5
3961452
3. Inspect the timing chain idler sprockets for stiffness
when turning (Should turn smooth and free).
Any of the above 3 instances would be cause to
replace the engine instead of repair.
While engine replacement at this point will be
necessary, additional inspections should also be made
for conditions:
– Sludging caused by lack of maintenance. Refer to
Service Bulletin# 16-NA-222.
– Global oil starvation caused by running the engine
very low on oil.
– Intentional abuse to the engine.
Important: If this is the case, then a call to the
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is NOT required
prior to engine replacement.
If these conditions exist, warranty could be declined or
feedback made on Warranty Parts Center (WPC)
inspection. Maintenance documentation should be
obtained in these instances for warranty validation.
Clearly document your findings on your repair order, fill
out the cost worksheet, and call Product Quality Center
(PQC) only if required for your dealer.
A repair and then replacement will usually be cause for
additional inspection and scrutiny that could result in
more questioning about the repair methods.
HFV6 engines are scheduled to be returned to the
WPC for inspection to verify the concern, as well as the
information provided in the repair order to support the
engine replacement.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a “do-it-yourselfer”. They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
