Structural Sectioning Procedures: Maserati
I-CAR · December 9, 2022 · Maserati
Summary
Maserati vehicle-specific workshop manuals require that structural panels be replaced at factory seams unless a specific sectioning procedure is explicitly provided in the official repair instructions. Unauthorized cutting or sectioning is strictly prohibited to prevent compromising the vehicle's crash safety, public safety, and ride safety.
What to do on the job
Only perform structural sectioning on a Maserati if a specific sectioning procedure is explicitly illustrated and authorized in the official Maserati workshop manual.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the cost of full structural component replacement at factory seams when an insurer requests or suggests a sectioning repair. If Maserati does not publish a specific sectioning procedure for the damaged component, this document serves as official OEM backing that sectioning is strictly prohibited due to crash safety concerns.
