American Honda Launches Model-Specific Repair Publication

'Body Repair News' will cover new models constructed with high strength steel and other new technologies.

American Honda has announced that the first two editions of Body Repair News,
a new collision industry communication covering new Honda and Acura
model body repair information, are now available. The inaugural issues
cover the 2014 Acura MDX and 2013 Honda Accord, and can be accessed at techinfo.honda.com or techinfo.acura.com. Click on “Industry Position Statements & Body Repair News,” and then scroll down to Body Repair News.

Free to independent collision repairers, Body Repair News is part
of a series of American Honda publications that will be created to
support new models that are constructed with significant amounts of high
strength steel and other new technologies. Body Repair News publications are also planned for the following new models that have already gone on sale:

  • 2014 Acura RLX
  • 2014 Honda Odyssey

An edition of Body Repair News will be issued for every future
new model. Any minor model change where significant body design changes
are made will also have a body repair publication issued.

Body Repair News
summarizes new body and vehicle technology that may
affect collision and other body repairs. It is not intended to replace
the detailed information contained in the body repair and service
manuals. Rather, it aims to help collision repair industry personnel
understand why using the factory service information is so important to
make safe and complete repairs.
