Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL)
I-CAR · October 19, 2018 · Jeep
Summary
This article outlines the sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL), highlighting that sectioning is only permitted in one specific location on the front lower rail and one location on the outer uniside. It notes that no sectioning or partial replacement procedures are allowed for the front upper rail, rear rail, rear body panel, trunk floor, uniside reinforcement, or inner uniside.
What to do on the job
Verify the exact approved sectioning locations for the front lower rail and outer uniside using the official FCA/Stellantis repair database, and do not attempt to section or partially replace any other structural rails or inner/reinforcement panels on this vehicle.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the complete replacement (rather than sectioning) of the front upper rail, rear rail, rear body panel, trunk floor, uniside reinforcement, and inner uniside on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL), as FCA/Stellantis does not provide or permit sectioning procedures for these components.
