REAR LICENSE PLATE POCKET PAINT PEEL OFF OF ASSEMBLY

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1985 'G' Car ------------

Some 1985 Monte Carlos are being returned to Dealers because of paint peeling from the rear license plate pocket assembly.

This condition is the result of gasoline spillage on to the license plate pocket which, over a period of time may cause poor paint adhesion.

Improved license plate pocket assemblies are now being used in production, which allows for better paint adhesion.

Repair requires that the old license plate pocket be replaced with a new one. Repainting is not recommended. The new parts shown below are available from Gm Parts.
