Bumper Cover Repair With ADAS: Genesis
I-CAR · February 27, 2025 · Genesis
Summary
Genesis has established strict guidelines for bumper cover repairs on vehicles equipped with ADAS sensors, prohibiting plastic repairs on front and rear bumpers as the altered shape or surface can affect corner radar performance. The guidelines also require masking or removing radar units during refinishing, replacing contaminated sensors, and using radar-optimized paint formulas when available.
What to do on the job
Do not perform plastic repairs on Genesis bumper covers near corner radar sensors, and ensure radar-optimized paint formulas are used during refinishing in accordance with TSB 23-BD-012G.
How to use it
Use this document to justify replacing a damaged bumper cover instead of repairing it when ADAS sensors are present. It also serves as documentation to support the necessity of using specialized radar-optimized paint formulas (TSB 23-BD-012G) and billing for the removal/installation and calibration of sensors to prevent paint contamination.
