I-CAR · August 25, 2026 · General Motors, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick
Summary
General Motors has issued a parts restriction on front frame rails for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). These restricted parts will only be available to dealerships and Collision Repair Network (CRN) facilities that are certified as GM CRN BEV compliant.
What to do on the job
Verify that your facility is GM CRN BEV compliant before attempting to order front frame rail parts for GM battery electric vehicles.
How to use it
Use this document to justify subletting structural BEV repairs to a certified GM CRN BEV facility if your shop does not hold the required credentials, or to explain to insurers why there may be parts procurement delays if the vehicle must be transferred to a compliant network shop.
