The 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2022 and 2023 Chevy Blazer crossover, and 2022 Chevy Trax are all included in a special coverage program announced in a recent bulletin by GM, which is related to a problem with the evaporative emissions purge pump.
The special coverage extends the time during which a free fix is available for affected Chevy Silverado, Chevy Blazer and Chevy Trax units, and applies only to that specific emissions purge pump issue.
The problem certain Chevy Silverado, Blazer and Trax vehicles may be subject to is failure of the evaporative emissions purge pump. This failure won’t immediately affect performance of the vehicle, but will set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and cause the “service engine” light to illuminate on the instrument panel.
The fix for this issue is replacement of affected pumps by GM service personnel. Dealerships are instructed to provide this repair to customer vehicles free of charge, regardless of current ownership. If the pump was already replaced on or before January 14th, 2025, the vehicle owner is probably eligible for reimbursement of the replacement costs.
The special coverage General Motors is offering extends the period during which owners of affected Chevy Silverado, Blazer, or Trax vehicles can receive the fix free of charge. The coverage period is extended to 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, this applies only to evaporative emissions purge pump problem specifically and not to any other issues.
As a reminder, the 2022 Chevy Silverado was powered by four different engine options. These consisted of the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine developing 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine cranking out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine providing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax generating 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
The Chevy Blazer is equipped with either the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY engine with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, or the 3.6L V6 LGX engine with 308 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, mated in both cases to the GM nine-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the final model year of the previous-generation Chevy Trax was equipped with the turbocharged 1.4L I4 LE2 engine that developed 155 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, managed by the GM six-speed automatic transmission.

It would be impressive IF THEY COULD issue a separate bulletin that covers the 6.2 engines for 200k…
Fingers crossed it ends in a recall to fix them…the new 6th gen engines are right around the corner…
I thought this also covered the same issue with the new gen TrailBlazers ?
