Default Platinum Plaque Issues

Anyone else’s platinum plaque warping or delaminating (may not be the best word for this) from the tailgate?

Hoping to try to get it replaced under warranty, but wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar issue.

Different metal or thicknesses heat and cool at different rates. Suspect that distortion is permanent. See dealer for help

I noticed the corner of mine separating between the plastic mounting bracket behind it I know this is crazy the plastic bracket is mounted better then the plaque itself upon removal I found they used double sided tape that's why the corner was coming up....so I cleaned the crappy tape off bought good 3m high temp tape and 2 part epoxy (harbor freight) stuff works great and lets just say it will never be an issue again! Mine is a 2021 BTW... Notice the square spots where you see the metal through the bracket each spot got some epoxy...

It is a bit disappointing to see, but it does appear to be a “normal” thing. We have our next service on Saturday, so I’ll report back on whether or not they deem it a warranty item.

sorry for the very long delay. Today, I took my truck in for recall work. I was able get our battery replaced under warranty and they ordered a new plaque for the tailgate under warranty. Hope you had/have the same luck.
