Structural Sectioning Procedures: Genesis

I-CAR · October 28, 2022 · Genesis

Summary

This document outlines Genesis' strict guidelines regarding structural sectioning, emphasizing that ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) panels must never be pulled or partially replaced at random. It mandates that damaged UHSS panels must be replaced in their entirety using spot-welding and epoxy adhesive unless a specific OEM-approved sectioning procedure is provided.

What to do on the job

Do not pull or randomly section Genesis ultra-high-strength steel panels; replace the entire panel using spot-welding and epoxy adhesive unless a vehicle-specific OEM sectioning procedure is explicitly documented.

How to use it

Use this document to justify the complete replacement of damaged ultra-high-strength steel panels on Genesis vehicles. It serves as official OEM backing to reject insurer requests for partial sectioning or pulling/repairing of UHSS structural components when no OEM-approved sectioning procedure exists.
