Power Train · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 6.0L (rpo ly6) v8 engine, 4l80e (rpo mt1) transmission, 4.10 (rpo gt5) axle and 75 mph governor (rpo 9d7). These vehicles have a condition in which the transmission may be damaged due to first gear engagement at highway speeds and then does not transmit power with d4 or r selected. This may be preceded by engine shutdown if the vehicle exceeds 81 miles per hour in certain conditions.
Why it matters: The vehicle may be stranded on or near a highway, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the transmission and engine control modules free of charge. The recall began on or about July 30, 2008.
