Sheet Metal Damage

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal

repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop

applies anti-corrosion material to parts repaired or

replaced to restore corrosion protection.

Original manufacturer replacement parts will provide the

corrosion protection while maintaining the warranty.

Finish Damage

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the

ﬁnish should be repaired right away. Bare metal

will corrode quickly and may develop into major repair

expense.

Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up

materials avaliable from your dealer. Larger areas of

ﬁnish damage can be corrected in your dealer’s

body and paint shop.

Underbody Maintenance

Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust

control can collect on the underbody. If these are not

removed, corrosion and rust can develop on the

underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, ﬂoor pan and

exhaust system even though they have corrosion

protection.

At least every spring, ﬂush these materials from the

underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud

and debris can collect. Dirt packed in close areas of

the frame should be loosened before being ﬂushed.

Your dealer or an underbody car washing system can

do this for you.

Chemical Paint Spotting

Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a

chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and

attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage

can take two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations,

and small, irregular dark spots etched into the paint

surface.

Although no defect in the paint job causes this, GM will

repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of

new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within

12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,

whichever occurs ﬁrst.
