Read your warranty carefully. With a truck that new, and depending on the extent of the rust, it sounds like you should have some kind of recourse through the dealer.

Re: tailgate hinge

I would definitely look into this further. I recently heard about the recall and took my '04 Z71 to my local chevy dealer (I didn't purchase it there) and they told my I need to wait for the recall to come in the mail which should be by the end of Oct. I would suggest contacting GM for further assistance as this problem is warranteed if your local dealer will not assist you.

Re: tailgate hinge
