Just talked to the person who bought my 2016 Duramax 2.8L and they received the recall notice 2 days ago.. It has over 195,000 kms on it and has never had a DPF problem or inconsistent regent intervals. So I suspect the recall is all year Duramax 2.8l.
Drax, yes these are Canadian owned trucks. I suspect the states will be getting a notice as well.
As a point of interest, all the L5P Duramax 6.6l had the same(DPF monitering) recall/flash done about 6 months back.

I'm in Canada. I've never been happy with my regen intervals, they seem excessive. I haven't received the notice yet. Probably next week.

Well, I am taking mine in tomorrow for the 1st service at 6,600 mi, and I am going to discuss this recall issue with the techs. Quite frankly, I haven't followed the regen cycles at all so I am not sure what the real issue is.

I just checked the GM recall site mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but there was 'no hit' when I entered my VIN. If I get any useable info from the dealer tomorrow, I will post it here. Thanks for alerting me to this issue.

It's currently a Canada-only recall but your dealer might be able to still look it up and give you details that you can pass along even though your truck isn't included.

Well, my Nashville dealer looked this recall up on several different GM and NHTSA sites, and there is no active recall in the US regarding the 2.8l DuraMax. No more information available. As far as my truck, the auto regen cycle appears to indicate no adverse issues to date. For me this is a very good ride!

I posted about this issue 8 months ago but it got merged and buried in the regen thread: https://www.coloradofans.com/threads/regen-intervals-and-noticeabilty.280970/post-5180695

went from 600-700kms between regens to 150-200 kms. no change in driving habits.

I got the 'no cel = no problem' line essentially when I brought it in for them to look at. Looks like 'no cel = problem' now. I see the recall notice on the my.gm site for my VIN but I guess until they have a solution, we sit and wait? She's sleeping for the winter anyway.

Is this still a Canada thing? I’m just out of warranty and think the dealer flashed a newer update as it seems different...along with a new nox sensor. (Still had a original one that was two part numbers old). The truck runs waaaay better with the new nox sensor. I see they issued a new pm sensor part number and was considering trying it.

If you're using the "my Chevy" app that has your truck's vin as it monitors stuff, there's a link that checks for any open recalls-- is this reliable?

Yes.

 

[streamintrip]

I just went on-line to check for any recalls, and none were reported. I can only guess that this is still, for some reason, limited to Canada (or some other planet!).

I just checked the MyGMC app and show the recall.

My truck is included in the recall. The fact that this is a Transport Canada recall and reads in part:

"The engine control module (ECM) in these vehicles may not adequately diagnose or illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (Check Engine Light) when frequent regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) occurs".

This says to me the government simply doesn't want us burning extra fuel for regens once our DPF filters fill up with ash. We won't know about this issue if the check engine light does not come on. Sounds to me that there is nothing actually wrong with the truck which is why there is no recall in the U.S. It has nothing to do with actually changing the regen interval. Looks like the environmentalist hippies want to make the lives of diesel truck owners miserable by pestering us with unnecessary check engine lights. I certainly will not be first in line when this "fix" is ready.

I’m from what I see, they have been adding diagnostics to the emmissions system in other areas too. Honestly if the truck was Regening too much id like to know about it. a mil would be nice to have before it goes into a reduce power mode, and if it does, it would help to diagnose

I've been manually recording my regens and even with a ton of highway driving it's every 120-170 miles, seems pretty ridiculous to me. I hope GM steps up to remedy this as my great mileage really has taken a hit.

 

[Tacoguy]

Dam, would the dealer warranty that?

Not likely as most dealers go by the "no check engine light no problem." I can't even get my dealer to fix my squeaky brakes which has a TSB...

Not sure where you are at, but every winter I drop 3 mpg due to a combination of winter fuel, colder air and more warm up time.
I track every regen , my 2016 would regen every 650- 800 kms during warmer weather and 450-650 kms in winter, due to more idle time.
My 2020 has done the same so far.
