Honda Recommends Repair of Unibody Vehicles

Co-maker of Acura RSX performance parts, American Honda Motor Co, Inc. has issued four recommendations for repair of Honda and Acura unibody vehicles.

The first recommendation is on Sectioning Frame Components. It states that when body repairs are necessary, Honda recommends that by using the Honda or Acura body repair manual, any repairs will be performed by an experienced professional. Furthermore, component replacement will be accomplished along factory connection. The company further added that failure to do so can result in a number of problems that include improperly fitted parts, noises, tire wear, and most importantly, changes in vehicle dynamics and occupant protection in a sequential crash.

Particularly speaking, Honda in America is firmly against the process of joining cut pieces from separate vehicles, which is commonly referred to as ‘clipping’ that is not an authorized American Honda method of repairing. The company’s American factory or extended warranties will not be held liable with any problems with other components resulting from such inaccurate vehicle repairs.

The second recommendation is on adhesives and welding. The company states that using adhesives in place of welding for replacement of a component is not an authorized American Honda repair method. According to Honda, it is important to repair at factory seams using the same procedures as the factory assembly process except where specified otherwise in the Honda or Acura body repair manual.

The third recommendation is on Door and Bumper Reinforcements. Because these parts are made of high strength steel, the company recommends that reinforcements of door and bumper must not be repaired or straightened.

The last but not the least recommendation is on the Replacement Parts. American Honda firmly recommends the use of Honda Genuine or Acura Precision Crafted original equipment replacement parts. The company said that the use of these parts helps return the vehicle to its pre-crash condition.
