General Motors has stated that the occurrence of seizing in its V8 engines, specifically the L87 model, does not qualify as a defect if only 3% of the engines are affected.
The company argues that its proactive measures, including a recall and a 10-year warranty extension, render the class action lawsuit regarding this issue unnecessary.
GM's position raises questions about the thresholds for what constitutes a defect and the adequacy of their response to consumer concerns.
