I-CAR · December 21, 2020 · Mitsubishi
Summary
Mitsubishi permits bumper cover repairs on vehicles equipped with blind spot sensors but strictly prohibits the application of stickers, paint, putty, or any repairs within the designated radar electric wave penetration area. This critical zone is symmetrical on both the left and right sides of the rear bumper cover.
What to do on the job
Identify the radar electric wave penetration area on the rear bumper and ensure no paint, putty, stickers, or repair materials are applied to this shaded zone.
How to use it
Use this document to justify replacing a bumper cover instead of repairing it if the damage, scratch, or required refinishing falls within the symmetrical radar electric wave penetration areas. Refer to Mitsubishi service manual section 51-Exterior to locate the specific shaded zone illustration for the vehicle being repaired.
