Genesis Position Statement: High-Voltage Battery Inspection And Replacement After Structural Damage
I-CAR · May 22, 2024 · Genesis
Summary
Genesis has released a position statement requiring a thorough inspection of the high-voltage (HV) battery to ensure it is safe for removal following structural damage. The document outlines specific damage criteria, such as battery tray dents exceeding 0.5 mm, missing fasteners, thermal events, or coolant/electrolyte leaks, and advises storing uninspected vehicles outdoors away from flammable materials.
What to do on the job
Inspect the high-voltage battery for damage—including tray dents over 0.5 mm, missing fasteners, thermal signs, or leaks—before removal, and store uninspected vehicles outdoors away from flammable materials.
How to use it
Use this position statement to justify the labor and safety setup required for inspecting the high-voltage battery on any Genesis EV/hybrid that has sustained structural damage. It can also be used to defend the necessity of outdoor storage charges for uninspected vehicles and the line items for proper PPE and safety equipment during the battery evaluation process.
