Some 600,000 vehicles in the United States are included in the recall, but only 3 percent have the malfunction, according to GM.
Letters to owners are expected to be mailed starting June 9.
'While the recall is currently voluntary, it is critical for GM drivers with vehicles identified in the recall to have their vehicles inspected,' Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm attorney Rhyan Lindley told NTD in an email on April 29.
Dealers have vowed to inspect the affected vehicles and if needed, repair or replace the engine without cost. The cost of the recall is undisclosed by GM, but will likely be high, according to German Car Depot owner Alan Gelfand.
'People should always ask about loaner vehicles when they make an appointment for recall work, and an affected GM vehicle owner should book their recall service appointment as soon as they receive their notification,' Gelfand told NTD on April 29.
But vehicle owners were advised that the recall might not go smoothly.
'Those who have vehicles that are part of the recall will likely face extensive wait times for repairs and the inconvenience of being without their vehicle for a while,' AutoInsurance.org. auto industry expert Melanie Musson told NTD on April 29. 'The dealership may offer a loaner or a rental, but it's not guaranteed.'

'They are not replacing entire cars—only repairing or replacing engines when necessary,' EpicVIN chief marketing officer Alex Black told NTD on April 29. 'If your engine passes the test, you'll receive new oil, a new oil filter, and a new oil cap.'

1940 Chevy Master Business Coupe Resurfaces After 64 Years in Abandoned Barn
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious After more than six decades hidden from the world, a 1940 Chevrolet Master Business Coupe has been discovered in a long-abandoned barn, remarkably intact and sparking new hope for preservation among classic car enthusiasts. The two-door coupe, long thought lost to time, reportedly sat untouched since 1961. Found blanketed in dust and surrounded by signs of long-term neglect—including a large rat nest in the trunk and a deteriorated interior—the car still retains much of its original form. Remarkably, rust is minimal, and the body appears solid despite being parked for 64 years. Introduced in 1933, the Chevrolet Master nameplate was part of GM's efforts to expand its model range, remaining a core part of the brand's prewar lineup. The 1940 model year marked a significant design update, with a broader grille extending past a V-shaped front fascia, sleeker fenders, and a longer 113-inch wheelbase. Chevrolet offered several body styles that year, but only 25,537 customers opted for the Business Coupe configuration—out of more than 400,000 total Masters produced. While not exceedingly rare by production numbers alone, surviving examples in unrestored condition are increasingly uncommon. The car is not entirely original, however. It appears to have received a repaint before its lengthy slumber, and under the hood lies a swapped inline-six engine, likely from the mid-1950s. Though this diminishes its historical purity, enthusiasts agree that the car's survival in such condition still holds significant value. Whether the Master will be restored or remain a survivor is uncertain, but classic car circles are already buzzing. For now, the coupe is safe, finally seeing daylight after a lifetime in the dark—a silent testament to American craftsmanship and the power of rediscovery.
