Bumper Cover Repair With ADAS: Honda/Acura - UPDATE
I-CAR · May 21, 2024 · Honda, Acura
Summary
This article outlines Honda and Acura's strict requirements for bumper cover repairs on vehicles equipped with ADAS sensors. It prohibits repairs in areas over or near blind spot radar units, limits overall paint film thickness to a maximum of 300 microns (200 preferred), and restricts basecoat paint thickness to 40 microns on vehicles equipped with AcuraWatch 360.
What to do on the job
Do not perform any bumper repairs over or near blind spot radar units, and ensure paint film thickness does not exceed 300 microns (or 40 microns basecoat for AcuraWatch 360).
How to use it
Use this document to justify replacing a bumper cover instead of repairing it when damage is located near blind spot radar sensors. It can also be used to support the necessity of measuring paint mil thickness during the refinishing process to ensure compliance with Honda/Acura's strict micron limits.
