I-CAR · February 25, 2026 · Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, RAM
Summary
This article outlines FCA/Stellantis requirements for bumper cover repairs on vehicles equipped with ADAS. It specifies paint thickness limits, bans substrate repairs and fillers within 25 cm of blind spot sensors, and prohibits repairing park sensors or their brackets.
What to do on the job
Do not perform substrate repairs or apply fillers within 25 cm of blind spot sensors, and ensure total paint thickness does not exceed 12 mils (300 microns) or 3 topcoat finishes.
How to use it
Use this document to justify replacing a bumper cover instead of repairing it if damage or filler is located within 25 cm (10 inches) of a blind spot sensor. It also supports billing for paint thickness measurements to ensure compliance with the 12-mil/3-topcoat limit, and justifies replacing damaged park sensors or brackets rather than attempting repairs.
