“The october '99 issue of consumer's report states that bulletin 331708 covers a hidden warranty on 1988-1992 oldsmobiles if the base coat clear coat chalks, degrades, or whites. Our car has been this way for many year and we were unaware of the hidden warranty. When I called the service manager today, he stated that this bulletin expired seven (7) years after the car was built (1996). We were not notified of this coverage or we would have taken action earlier.”
