Chevy has issued a recall for certain models of the 2014 to 2019 Chevy Silverado trucks that have issues with their paint. The paint is likely to chip and peel long before it ever should. They had used improper paint when making these models. Chevy will cover a new paint job if You are effected by this. You will need to visit their website or a dealership to find out if You are eligible for this recall. If You are eligible You will be granted an entire new paint job for Your truck for free.

2014 Silverado silver paint started bubbling on door and roof above windshield about 1 year ago. Vehicle is well cared for, well maintained and parked in garage every single night. NO damage just paint bubbling and flaking in exactly the same spots as others I have seen online. Took it to the Chevy dealer who said "Yeah that is NOT normal and there is NO rust or chips.." I provided him a Chevy paint recall/bulletin#, he looked into it and said "Sorry your VIN is not affected.." This is totally bogus and this paint should NOT be flaking off. I'm sick of being raked over the coals here and ready to ditch GM altogether. Loyal customers deserve proper customer service, not this blind-eye BS.

Chevy is a joke, reported delaminating on both wheel wells, huge flakes coming off and they claim it’s rock chips. Absolutely ridiculous that a 2 year old truck needs paint. Chev you lost my business (buy new every 3 years) 15-20 trucks every year for fleet replacement. Good job, no wonder you’re a joke in the auto world. Chev can eat s**t

2020 Silverado 2500HD High Country - Oxford Brown - paint is peeling off both bumpers, Took it to the dealership, they took photos then sent me to the body shop to get an estimate for re-paint. Sent the quote to GM. That was in July, got a call yesterday (after calling the dealership weekly and GM Customer Service weekly) from the dealership stating that GM was covering the re-paint of the rear bumper, but the front bumper was caused by rock chips. I refuted that as the cracks, bubbling, tearing of the paint started underneath the parking sensors then spidered out from there. Sent new photos where it is evident that no chips are missing from the paint to the dealership and GM rep. Hopefully, I hear good news within a few days. Truck had 18K miles when first reported and 21K now. Ridiculous!!!
