Default Corrossion waranty question

Does the GM corrosion warranty cover wheels also?

My wheels on my 2002 show signs of corrosion... peeling the clear coat... is this still under warranty?

(ps. I didn't get the manuals with my car when I bought it)

thanks

Denis

The protection is only on body panels and has to be rusted all the way through. I had issues on one of my Z28s and that is what I was told

I do not believe the corrosion warranty covers wheels. The dealer might (and I use the term lightly) cover the wheels if it is still under the 3 yr/36K warranty.

Is peeling clear coat really considered corrosion? I'd bet the General will not cover it - they will tell you that the clear coat was cleaned improperly. It's worth a shot, the worst they can say is NO and then you're no worse off than you are right now. Ask your "friendly" local Chevrolet dealer, you might stand a slim chance if the car is still under the 3/36, like JD said above, but don't get your hopes up too high for a replacement wheel on a 4 year old car......
