Subject: SIDE MARKER AND/OR TAIL LAMP LENS CRACKED APPEARANCE
Models
Affected: 1989 SUNBIRD LE AND GRAND AM
Front side markers on Sunbirds and tail lamp lenses on Grand AM's are mistakenly being replaced as cracked lenses when in fact they are not. What appears as a crack in the lens is actually a mold parting line and does not affect the strength of the lens. The parting line is on the inside of the lens and cannot be felt on the outside surface.
This is NOT to be considered a warranty expense item.
It is a normal condition resulting from the manufacturing process and the lens IS NOT TO BE REPLACED for this condition.
