Default Paint bubblin

I was washing the egine yesterday and the underside of the hood and I noticed a HUGE,a nd I mean HUGE paint bubble at the back of the duct work for the ram air. The car has 52,000 on it, is this somethign that GM will cover? Does anyone know a site or know if a paint recall besides the sail panels?

Also any ideas how this would have happened?

I have heard of the problem before.

Have you checked with your local dealer to see if they will cover it? I would also ask them to search their TSB's for any notification of the problem if they say no or thet never heard of it. If all that fails, then call Chevy's cutomer service 800 number.
