Welcome to the Cadillac V-Series Forums!

Buying a pre-owned high MSRP 2024 CT5VBW or a new 2025 model?

Well if the source can be trusted (considering the amount of people that have issues with the ‘22-‘25 I tend to lend it credence) then it is something they found out was a problem specifically with those years in January of ‘25. So if your engine was built after then it should be different.

The questionable part is whether the same issues that were found in the truck engines also afflicted the Blackwings. Which again, based on the number of posts about having engine issues leans me towards that being a high probability. If the dude’s post above can be believed, then that’s just more push…

In the end, I really don’t give a shit either way. I’m just happy to have the car, and I’m sure so is everyone regardless of build year.

This is a quote from an article on GMauthority:

“As it turns out, GM formed its own internal product investigation on January 16th, 2025, immediately after the launch of NHTSA investigation. Through a detailed analysis of field data and teardown inspections, GM’s engineering team identified a specific build window between March 1st, 2021, and May 31st, 2024, during which an increased rate of engine failure was tied to specific manufacturing defects.”

Regarding your quote, the article it is in is entitled as follows:

GM Explains Why 6.2L V8 L87 Engine Recall Doesn’t Apply To 2019, 2020 Vehicles​

So, if you’ll excuse my turning the volume up :whistle: with block caps, but I’m hoping it brings this nonsense to an end:

THE L87 IS A DIFFERENT ENGINE AND NOT THE ENGINE IN OUR CT5 V BLACKWINGS!

I completely missed the part where it said the L87… so that’s my bad. Let’s just hope that the engine flaws didn’t occur in any of the LT4s.
