FCA/Stellantis: Aluminum Body Panel Corrosion Repair
I-CAR · April 1, 2019 · Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, Fiat, Alfa Romeo
Summary
This FCA/Stellantis bulletin outlines the transition from mandatory replacement to repairing salvageable bolt-on aluminum panels affected by oxidation/corrosion near panel flanges. It provides a specific sanding and treatment procedure to restore the panels rather than replacing them.
What to do on the job
Assess the aluminum panel to determine if it is salvageable after sanding, and if so, apply the Mopar Anti-Corrosion Pen to the repair areas as a mandatory step to prevent repair failure.
How to use it
Use this document to justify repair times and material costs for aluminum corrosion restoration on salvageable bolt-on panels instead of automatic replacement. Ensure the estimate includes the cost of the Mopar Anti-Corrosion Pen and the labor required for the specific sanding and treatment process outlined in the bulletin.
