I-CAR · May 9, 2024 · Nissan, Infiniti
Summary
This article highlights a specific OEM requirement for certain Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, such as the 2017-2019 Infiniti QX30, where the front or rear bumper cover must be replaced if a sonar/park assist sensor holder or mounting bracket is replaced. It emphasizes that technicians must check the vehicle-specific service manual to determine if this requirement applies to the vehicle they are repairing.
What to do on the job
Check the vehicle-specific Nissan or Infiniti service manual during the blueprinting phase to determine if replacing a sonar sensor holder requires replacing the entire bumper cover.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement of a complete bumper cover on estimates and supplements when a sonar sensor bracket/holder is damaged on applicable Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. Reference the specific OEM service manual note (e.g., from the Front Sonar Sensor Removal and Installation procedure) as documentation for insurers to prove that the bumper cover cannot be repaired or have brackets individually replaced.
