Summary
This article explains how Hyundai and Genesis group their Body Repair Manuals (BRMs) using multi-letter or alphanumeric body codes rather than just model years. It highlights the importance of identifying the correct body code to ensure accurate parts ordering, repair procedures, and vehicle measurements.
What to do on the job
Always identify and verify the specific multi-letter or alphanumeric body code of the Hyundai or Genesis vehicle before selecting the Body Repair Manual and beginning repairs.
How to use it
