Structural Sectioning Procedures: Hyundai
I-CAR · August 3, 2022 · Hyundai
Summary
Hyundai prohibits the pulling, repairing, or random partial replacement of ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) panels, requiring complete panel replacement instead. Sectioning and partial part replacement procedures are only permitted on non-UHSS parts when specifically supported by Hyundai's vehicle-specific body repair manuals.
What to do on the job
Identify the steel strength of the damaged panel using Hyundai's Body Construction manual, and completely replace the panel rather than sectioning or pulling if it is identified as ultra-high-strength steel.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the cost of complete panel replacement over sectioning or repairing when dealing with Hyundai ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) components. It serves as official documentation that pulling or partially replacing UHSS is strictly prohibited by the OEM.
