On November 13, 2025, Judge Shalina D. Kumar of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan appointed DiCello Levitt, alongside Hagens Berman, Lieff Cabraser, and Miller Law, as Lead Counsel in a consolidated class action involving catastrophic engine failures in GM vehicles equipped with the 6.2L “L87” V8 engine.
In choosing DiCello Levitt and its co-counsel over a competing leadership applicant, the Court noted that DiCello Levitt, Hagens Berman, Lieff Cabraser, and Miller Law are “best able to represent the interests of the putative class” and cited our team’s substantial investigation, retention of experts, and extensive experience leading automotive defect cases as key factors in its decision.
This litigation brings together twelve separate actions, representing vehicle owners nationwide who have experienced low mileage engine failures allegedly caused by a defect in GM’s 6.2L engines.
DiCello Levitt’s team includes Adam Levitt, John Tangren, Dan Ferri, and Madeline Hills.
“We are honored by the Court’s confidence in our team and look forward to fighting for consumers who have suffered significant losses due to these engine defects,” said DiCello Levitt Founding Partner Adam Levitt. “Our firm is committed to holding manufacturers accountable and securing meaningful relief for consumers.”
The case is James S. Powell, II, et al. v. General Motors, LLC, Case 4:25-cv-10479-SDK-KGA (E.D. Mich.)
