Door Panels Or Interior Trim Turning Pink - keywords glove box door interior molding panel

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in the PI.

Some customer may state that the interior of the vehicle is turning pink in color. The concern may be seen on either door panel or the drivers knee bolster and passengers glove box. The concern is mostly apparent on vehicles equipped with the Shale interior (RPO 15I). The concern is linked to vehicles that are stored in the winter months in a warehouse that uses propane fork lift (hi-low) vehicles. The dye of the interior is reacting to high concentrations of combustion by-products and turns to a pink tint.

Most of the pink discoloration can be removed by using a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. Exposure to natural sunlight for 2-3 hours will completely remove the pink coloration.

Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
