All
1998, 1999, 2000
Supersedes T.B. Group 00 number 97-11 dated Sept. 11, 1997
Condition
Paint appears to be of different shades at different angles under different lighting conditions.
Appearance is created by the way light colored metallic and pearlescent paint retract light which gives the illusion of subtle (light/dark) color variations
along certain contours of the vehicle.
The most common areas are shown -arrows-.
Service
This condition is normal, NO action is required.
As of m.y. 1998 the new bumper configuration has intelligent breakaway clips. Clips and mounting studs are replaceable and will minimize damage to
bumpers and other panels in low speed collisions.
