Anyone ever heard of a paint recall or service bulletin on 3rd gens?

Just wondering. My paint is fading on the rear hatches on BOTH my cars in the same spot, right in front of the spoilers.

There was a tech bulletine and silent recall years ago. I had the dealership repaint mine due to delamination, but that was 7 years ago. I don't think they will do anything anymore. The newest cars are now 10 years old, way past warrenty period.

You would be hard pressed to get someone to honor a recall on that age of car. Although many years of the 3rd-gen cars had bad paint, even a "fair" paint job may have fade in that time frame.

And if it were a "safety" recall they might honor it if you weren't the original owner but since it's not a safety issue they probably wouldn't make it right for the original owner OR a subsequent owner.

BUT......hey, it's worth a try.

Thanks for the info. I probably won't get anywhere with the dealer, but I might just go to see what they have to say about it. Who knows?
