SUBJECT: PAINT PEELING FROM TRANSAXLE FILLER TUBE AND SUBSEQUENT CORROSION - THM 440-T4

MODELS AFFECTED: 1988 DE VILLES, ELDORADOS, AND SEVILLES


Black paint used on the interior and exterior of the transaxle filler tube may flake off allowing corrosion of unprotected surfaces. The paint flakes may be found in the transaxle fluid, bottom pan, fluid level indicator, and filter assembly. Evidence of corrosion may be detectable on the fluid level indicator and fill tube.

Transaxle durability should not be affected, but the paint flakes may clog the filter.

To repair this condition replace the fill tube and fluid level indicator. Change the transaxle fluid and filter.
