Sheet Metal Damage

If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal

repair or replacement, make sure the body repair

shop applies anti-corrosion material to parts

repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.

Original manufacturer replacement parts will

provide the corrosion protection while maintaining

the warranty.

Finish Damage

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches

in the ﬁnish should be repaired right away.

Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop

into major repair expense.

Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with

touch-up materials available from your dealer/

retailer. Larger areas of ﬁnish damage can

be corrected in your dealer’s/retailer’s body and

paint shop.

Underbody Maintenance

Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust

control can collect on the underbody. If these are

not removed, corrosion and rust can develop on the

underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, ﬂoor pan,

and exhaust system even though they have

corrosion protection.

At least every spring, ﬂush these materials from the

underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where

mud and debris can collect. Dirt packed in close

areas of the frame should be loosened before being

ﬂushed. Your dealer/retailer or an underbody car

washing system can do this for you.

Chemical Paint Spotting

Some weather and atmospheric conditions can

create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can

fall upon and attack painted surfaces on the

vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy,

ring-shaped discolorations, and small, irregular

dark spots etched into the paint surface.

Although no defect in the paint job causes this,

we will repair, at no charge to the owner, the

surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout

condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles

(20 000 km) of purchase, whichever occurs ﬁrst.
