# Service bulletin T\-SB\-0044\-16

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10096862
- Published by NHTSA: 2017\-04\-04
- Manufacturer's number: T\-SB\-0044\-16

## NHTSA's summary

TSB: ON SOME VEHICLES, WHEN RAPGARD™ IS REMOVED, THE PAINT MAY HAVE A STAINED APPEARANCE. THESE STAINS APPEAR TO BE UNDER THE CLEAR COAT \(REPAINTING THIS AREA IS NOT NECESSARY\). THE STAIN PATTERNS ARE USUALLY UNDER WRINKLES IN THE RAPGARD™. THESE WRINKLES SOMETIMES TRAP WATER AND CAUSE THE PAINT TO STAIN FROM THE TRAPPED MOISTURE, ESPECIALLY ON HORIZONTAL SURFACES, SUCH AS THE HOOD, ROOF, AND TRUNK. STAINS CAN BE REMOVED BY HEATING THE STAINED SURFACE TO REMOVE THE TRAPPED MOISTURE.
