“We purchased a 1989 Gmc Suburban in february 2003. At that time the person we had purchased the vehicle from told us there was a possibility the paint had been recalled, but he had never checked into it. Upon us taking delivery I began to search on the web and came upon your information and took the advice of contacting our local service manager at our chevy dealership. They told me it was too old and the recall had expired. Today 6-31-03 I called the GM service center and was given a service # of 1-1-146-15140, and told to call a different # given the year of the vehicle. …”
