Recently the paint has begun peeling off in sheets sometimes as big as 12 inches long by 3 - 6 inches wide. I have heard
that in 95 chevrolet had problems with their primer. Did
chevrolet ever do a recall to fix the problem?

no they dont cover the paint or clear coat regardless if it was never in an accident -or garage kept its whole life and theirs only 4 recalls on the truck but not for paint
Just a guess, but it is likely that moisture is causing the paint to peel. I suggest you remove as much peeling as you can with a wire brush and then use a waterproof sealant. I had very good luck with a product they sell to seal cement walls in basements with moisture problems.
Yes there was a couple of manufacturers who had that problem over the years, I've heard everything from wrong primer, different coating on bare metal before priming, to improper prepping of bare metal before primer, but either way, a good body shop will know how to deal with it. There was some of the manufacturers that were giving warranty on these for first owners, and some even covered second owners, but my guess is that your out of that range for one reason or another if not time itself. if your going to re-do the tailgate yourself, do your best to take it down to bare metal and prep it properly before you re-finish it.
I have actually fixed these trucks under warranty. The EPA is the root cause of this, and lack of testing the newer system, this problem is pretty much of the past as the newer vehicle have a better system on them to complie with EPA regs.
you may take it to a spray painting place and have them fic it they might also give you a option of paint protection also dont pick at it or any thing can get a lot worse.

Hi,i recently used a DUPLI-COLOR CLEARCOAT TOUCH UP PAINT on 2 small areas where the clearcoat had peeled off when i replaced an emblem on my 1995 Deville.It is a bit noticeable when light shines at a certain angle--but more importantly, IT STOPS THE CLEARCOAT FROM PEELING OFF ANYMORE.
yes there is only if your origional owner past that its responisbility of new owner to have painted over its in the sales contract that you received if you are origional owner of vehicle this is a paint defect that dodge has to handle and if service guys wont handle it go to the top man in the building and i mean the top man in charge he will do whats right for you
service only tells you what you want to hear
vehicle history will show if they fixed the problem once before if this is the case this will be a little harder to convince
and if dealer doesnt help file complaint with attorney general then i know the dealer ship will have to cooperate
