Determine If Vehicle Is Repairable and the Repair Level (Driver Side and Passenger Side)

NOTE:
This campaign does not cover any repairs beyond those specifically mentioned in this Service Procedure.

1. Lift the vehicle on a hoist.

2. Remove both front wheels.

Determine if Vehicle is Repairable (driver and passenger side inspection)














3. Inspect for corrosion on the driver side AND passenger side in the wheel house Area 1 and strut housing Area 2 (see Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4).

Area 1: Look for perforation (holes) in the metal only in the areas outlined above.

NOTE:

^ The area shown in Figure 3 applies to driver side AND passenger side.

^ If needed, refer to examples (additional photos) of Area 1 perforation inspection

If there is perforation (holes) in the metal in Area 1, driver side OR passenger side:

a. Retain the vehicle at the dealer. (The vehicle is not repairable.)

b. Supply the customer with a rental car.

c. Fax a completed Non-Repairable Report to Morley (see Non-Repairable Report).

If there is no perforation (no holes) in the metal in Area 1, driver side OR passenger side:

^ Go to Area 2

Area 2: Look for "scab corrosion" (flaking rust or raised rust) on driver side AND passenger side only in the area outlined above.

NOTE:

^ The area shown in Figure 4 applies to driver side AND passenger side.

^ If needed, refer to examples (additional photos) of Area 2 scab corrosion inspection





Figure 5 is an example of "scab corrosion" (flaking and
raised rust).

If there is scab corrosion (flaking or raised rust) in Area 2, driver side OR passenger side:

a. Retain the vehicle at the dealer. (The vehicle is not repairable.)

b. Supply the customer with a rental car.

c. Fax a completed Non-Repairable Report to Morley.

If there is no scab corrosion (no flaking or raised rust) in Area 2, driver side OR passenger side:

^ Go to Determine Repair Level.

NOTE:
If there is no perforation in Area 1 and no scab corrosion in Area 2 on the driver side OR passenger side, the vehicle is repairable.

Determine Repair Level (driver side AND passenger side)

NOTE:
At this point in the procedure the vehicle should have been deemed "repairable". If needed, refer to Determine if Vehicle is Repairable.





1. Use mild soap, water, and a brush to thoroughly wash the strut housing and the wheel housing in the area shown in Figure 6 (both sides).

NOTE:
Passenger side is shown, driver side is similar.

2. Visually inspect for corrosion and rust on the wheel housing panel and the strut housing panel (driver and passenger side).

^ Inspect for corrosion and rust on the panels only.

NOTE:
Corrosion and rust on the strut or other suspension components is not covered by this campaign.

Possible Repair Levels





NOTE:
Repair levels for driver side and passenger side are to be determined independently.
