So where do I find the build date on my wife's Tahoe, and does that mean if it was built with the Sept 1 to March 31 window that the lifters will definitely fail?

No! Not at ALL. Only a small percentage of them are failing. It most likely will never happen. Your build date can be found on your invoiceSo where do I find the build date on my wife's Tahoe, and does that mean if it was built with the Sept 1 to March 31 window that the lifters will definitely fail?
Chris thank you for the information. My wife and I love the vehicle, but I must say as stalwart as I am about it, the constant chatter on Facebook was becoming a concern.
Chris what happens after the lifters are fixed? Will it happen again? Engine damage?
My guess if you have warranty you should be fine. But it would really suck to keep going back to the dealer to keep getting it "fixed"Chris what happens after the lifters are fixed? Will it happen again? Engine damage?
Thanks Chris. I took delivery of my 2021 Yukon August 2020 so built before the issueMy guess if you have warranty you should be fine. But it would really suck to keep going back to the dealer to keep getting it "fixed"
Hello everyone, my name is Chris. I’m a salesman at one of the largest Chevy dealers on the east coast. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Please see below. All 21’s built after March 31st 2021 are safe, the supplier for the lifters has changed. View attachment 429

I saw your post - I am contemplating a used 2021 tahoe - the build date was 9/14/20.......Obviously I am worried about this given the issues in the thread and the build date. Any idea what % of these are failing? If it makes it past 10K miles, does that mean it is less likely to fail - or still possible?
We purchased our Tahoe last December, going on 18000 miles and no issues. When I looked at the consumer guide release it said 4% of the engines across Chevy and GMC trucks were affected. My local dealer said they've seen some but it's not affecting everyone and if something should happen they would take care of us. Not sure if that helps.Chris

my build date was ~Jan 21. @10k, the one side went bad. 17k, and there are intermittent misfires/rough idle, consistent with a possible pending failure on the (un-repaired) second side. Transmission valve body also went bad recently...Chris

It's on the metal plate low on the door frame between front and rear door -- after you open the driver door. Look down low...There are around 3 plates there with info on them...tire pressure, another one with the date of manufacture (month and year) and another one I can't remember what info was on it...So where do I find the build date on my wife's Tahoe, and does that mean if it was built with the Sept 1 to March 31 window that the lifters will definitely fail?
My build date was 6/20 - took it home on 7/30/2020. at 26,000 miles is when the lifter issue roared twice and it's now going back via the lemon law.my build date was ~Jan 21. @10k, the one side went bad. 17k, and there are intermittent misfires/rough idle, consistent with a possible pending failure on the (un-repaired) second side.

I'm getting my replacement in a couple weeks... If you were at 26k miles, I would have thought that would be beyond the lemon law time frame? Thought it was 2 yrs/24k miles (guess it would depend on state). Anyway good luck!My build date was 6/20 - took it home on 7/30/2020. at 26,000 miles is when the lifter issue roared twice and it's now going back via the lemon law.
