Default sail panel recall ?

I had my car in the body shop because the paint on my sail panel was starting to bubble, they gave me a TSB on the panel and said that it might be a factory recall or still under warranty. Has anyone heard of such a recall ??

there's no official recall just a TSB, some people had luck getting GM to cover it after warranty.

If your car is under three years old and under 36,000 miles it is covered under warrantee.

Never was a recall.

Other than that, it's all yours. Yes you can try to fight it but jeez the cars are now over 7 years old . . .

I tried fighting GM to cover mine, and was denied. The TSB suggests that the urethane that bonds the panel to the body is the culprit, and the urethane would have been applied at the factory before I even took delivery of the car, thus (by my crappy logic) making this a latent defect. GM, however, doesn't seem to agree with my conclusion.

I'm paying to fix mine out of pocket.

don't paint over it. You have to take the old one off like you see in the threads above.
