REPAIR PROCEDURES:
Since heat deformation of the cladding occurs more easily than with bumpers, repair and refinishing of cladding panels is not recommended. If original parts are to be refinished, observe the following precautions during the refinish/drying process:

1. To prevent cladding warpage, hold the cladding panels firmly in place and keep the drying temperature below 50°C (122°F).
2. Since the cladding and bumpers are made of plastic resin, use a two part urethane finish paint system with plasticizer for all bumper/cladding repairs.

NOTE:
Issue of this Technical Service Bulletin is to ensure that proper repair information is available. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUTHORIZATION FOR REPAIR. Normal provisions of the formal warranty policy, as applicable, will apply.
