How it is said to have ended
- result not stated2
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Liftgate Applique Replacement Procedure
1Fault
- Condition 1: a dimpling or deformation is seen near an outer edge of the liftgate center applique.

2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- The applique design might allow deformation or dimpling of its surface if the retaining nuts are overtightened.
- The applique design together with the forming of the license plate pocket in the liftgate may let the lower outboard edges of the applique contact the liftgate.
3Correction
Repair
- For 2011 or earlier vehicles, replace the liftgate center applique with the appropriate new service part from the table.
- To create clearance, add GM washer P/N 15911310 to the applique between the foam washer and the mounting boss at each of the four mounting stud locations.
