Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD paint flaking and peeling issue requiring repaint on Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

Some Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD owners report experiencing severe paint flaking and peeling, even in well-maintained vehicles that have been kept indoors. These issues have prompted some owners to contact GM for assistance, leading to recommendations to visit local GM dealers. A service bulletin series initiated in September 2014 (Bulletin Number PIT5313) specifically addressed these paint problems, which many owners have encountered. GM has offered a $250 copay repaint deal for those affected by premature paint failures, helping to alleviate some of the financial burden. However, in certain instances, GM has allegedly attributed the peeling paint to environmental exposure or neglect, placing blame on customers. Additionally, a class-action lawsuit has been filed concerning the peeling paint issues in various models, including the Chevrolet Silverado, indicating a broader concern about the durability of the exterior paint on these vehicles.
