Known issues on the 2021 Escalade ESV. No recalls are on federal record for the 2021 Escalade ESV, and no complaints are logged for the year either. That clean record still leaves the diesel LM2 six and gas L87 V8 with their own scheduled service and diagnostic procedures, and the factory routines for both are here.
Whether you're servicing the LM2 diesel's fuel and emissions systems or working through a routine interval on the L87 gas V8, it keeps you on Cadillac's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 Escalade ESV.
