Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2020 Kia Telluride
I-CAR · May 27, 2020 · Kia
Summary
This article outlines the approved sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2020 Kia Telluride, detailing which structural components can be sectioned and which require full replacement. It highlights that while the outer uniside and certain rails have specific partial replacement or sectioning procedures, other components like the front lower rails, inner uniside, and rear body panel do not allow sectioning.
What to do on the job
Always refer to the official Kia collision repair database to verify approved sectioning locations for the outer uniside and partial replacement procedures for the rails, ensuring no sectioning is attempted on the front lower rails, inner uniside, or rear body panel.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of full component replacement for the front lower rails, inner uniside, and rear body panel, as Kia explicitly prohibits sectioning on these parts. It can also be used to support labor times for sectioning the outer uniside and partial replacement of the front upper and rear rails at factory seams.
