Bumper Cover Repair With ADAS: Nissan/INFINITI
I-CAR · September 8, 2021 · Nissan, INFINITI
Summary
Nissan and INFINITI position statements prohibit any repair, body filler application, or paint work on the rear bumper cover in the general area of the side radar sensors. If damage occurs in these areas, the bumper cover must be replaced with a new OEM bumper cover to ensure proper Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functionality.
What to do on the job
Replace the rear bumper cover with a new OEM part instead of repairing, filling, or refinishing it if there is damage in the general area of the side radar sensors.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement of a rear bumper cover over repair when damage is located near the side radar sensors. It serves as official OEM documentation to present to insurers who may be pushing for plastic repair or refinishing in areas that would compromise the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system.
