ford releases wheel refinishing/ remanufacturing ... - Motorcraftservice

Ford Motor Company has issued a position statement on wheel
remanufacturing/refinishing stating that the addition or removal of material
other than cosmetic finishes during the remanufacturing/refinishing of steel
and aluminum wheels is an unacceptable practice.
Ford’s position statement was created to serve as a guide on wheel recycling
for all collision repairers.
The informational guidelines issued by Ford clearly state that Ford does
not approve the re-machining, re-plating, welding, bending, straightening,
reforming or adding new material during recycling processes. Ford
recommends close inspection of any wheel considered for
remanufacturing/refinishing and that the wheel be discarded if any of a
number of defects are found, including cracks and corrosion.
The following are other highlights from the position statement:
• Ford approves the cosmetic refinishing of steel or aluminum wheels only
where cosmetic sanding can complete the reconditioning or polishing that
removes only the finish.
• The refinished wheel must have the same part number as the part number
of the wheel it is replacing.
• In no case does Ford warrant recycled, reconditioned, refinished wheels.

FORD RELEASES WHEEL REFINISHING/
REMANUFACTURING POSITION STATEMENT
FORD MOTOR COMPANY - POSITION STATEMENT
REMANUFACTURING/REFINISHING STEEL/ALUMINUM WHEELS
Ford Motor Company DOES NOT APPROVE THE REMANUFACTURING/REFINISHING of steel or aluminum wheels
when it involves re-machining, re-plating, welding, bending, straightening, reforming or adding new material other
than cosmetic coatings.
As a general rule, Ford Motor Company APPROVES REFINISHING of steel or aluminum wheels only if all necessary
repairs/reconditioning can be completed by cosmetic sanding or polishing that removes no metal and, instead, removes
only the finish. The refinished wheel must have the same part number as the part number of the wheel it is replacing.
Any wheel that is a candidate for refinishing MUST BE CAREFULLY INSPECTED and DISCARDED if the wheel
contains any of the following:
1) Cracks; 2) Corrosion, scrapes, gouges, dents or other damage that cannot be corrected with cosmetic sanding or
polishing; 3) Refinishing that changes, or will change, the wheel’s shape, contour, stylelines or other design features; 4)
Refinishing that alters, or will alter, the wheel’s rim flanges, wheel nut chamfers, wheel pilot holes or other
functional surfaces; 5) Refinishing that leaves, or will leave, paint, clearcoat or other coatings on the wheel’s
mounting surfaces or on wheel nut contact surfaces; 6) Repainting that involves cure temperatures above 350°F;
7) Chrome plating (either re-plating or chrome plating a painted wheel).
Ford Motor Company DOES NOT warrant any remanufactured/refinished wheel provided by an aftermarket supplier.
Those choosing to use a remanufactured/refinished wheel from an aftermarket supplier for replacement of a damaged
wheel should:
1) Request written assurance from the aftermarket supplier that the recommendations above have been followed;
2) Verify that the remanufactured/refinished wheel carries permanent markings that identify the aftermarket supplier and
the date of remanufacturing/refinishing; 3) Request clarification regarding the warranty provided by the
remanufacturer and/or aftermarket supplier, if any. Remember, Ford Motor Company does not warrant any
remanufactured/refinished wheel provided by an aftermarket supplier; 4) Use new coated balance weight to reduce
future cosmetic damage.
“Any repairer considering the use of a recycled wheel should receive
assurances from the recycler that the guidelines we have outlined have
been followed,” Steve Nantau, Collision Repairs and Service Chemicals
Supervisor for Ford Customer Service Division’s Aftermarket
Engineering and Remanufacturing Operations, advised. “We also
recommend that repairers require recyclers to permanently
identify on their recycled wheels the recycler’s name and the date the
wheel was recycled.”
Removal of material other than cosmetic
finishes during the remanufacturing/refinishing
of steel and aluminum wheels is an acceptable
practice, according to Ford Motor Company.

INSIDE THE INDUSTRY
The following stories summarize recent activities relating to the collision
repair industry as reported by trade publications. They are provided for
information only and do not reflect Ford’s position.
Keystone Earnings Climb; Sales Top
$500 Million
Keystone Automotive Industries, the nation’s
number one aftermarket crash parts distributor,
has reported their fiscal-2004 fourth quarter net
income at $6.3 million, up 28.5% from a year ago.
For the year, the company’s net income rose 20.2%,
to $17.7 million, as same-store sales increased
approximately 7% for the final three months and 9%
for the year. Simultaneously, Keystone’s net sales for
the year surpassed the half-billion dollar mark -
$501.1 million – up 14.1% from the $439.1 million
it brought in last year.
Over the last 12 months the company has acquired
six facilities, including two in Canada, and opened
two more Greenfield operations, giving it 125
distribution points in 38 states and Canada, 22 of
which serve as regional hubs.
CAPA Updates Parts Offering; Sells Entela
The end of the second quarter brought an additional
79 parts to the CAPA decertified list and 10 deleted
parts – bringing the total for the year to 408 parts
decertified and 317 parts deleted. At the same time,
41 new applications were added to the list to
increase the annual count to 239.
The association also recently sold Entela, the Grand
Rapids-based lab that carries out CAPA’s parts
certification program. Purchased by Intertek Group,
an international testing and certification company
based in the UK, Entela will continue to operate
under that name, and key staff working on the
CAPA program will remain in place. Intertek
operates 270 labs in 100 countries and believes
Entela’s focus on electrical and electronic automotive
parts testing will complement its existing business.
LKQ Acquires Another Salvage Facility
LKQ Corporation has added to its salvage parts
acquisitions with the purchase of a Minnesota-based
salvage operation, Albert Lea Auto Salvage. LKQ
currently operates 41 sales and processing facilities,
four self-serve retail auto parts locations and 11
redistribution centers in most major U.S. markets.
In February LKQ began its venture into new
aftermarket parts with the purchase of Global Trade
Alliance, an operator of 20 outlets in the Midwest.
CIC Releases Partial Parts Distribution
Survey Results
During the Collision Industry Conference meeting
in suburban Washington, D.C., the Parts
Committee gave an update on the parts distribution
survey it initiated at the Nashville meeting in April.
The top issues noted on the 40 shop responses
were: parts delivered damaged; ill fitting parts;
receipt of previously rejected parts; and poor
quality. Many of those surveyed also reported
insurers are forcing discounts through their DRP
programs, while 75% said they feel they’re losing
their right to choose vendors.
The committee said it will examine its findings on
delivery accuracy and reconditioned parts at the
August meeting in Chicago, and that it anticipates a
panel discussion on parts ordering and distribution
efficiency at NACE in November.

EMISSION LABEL REPLACEMENT
DOESN’T HAVE TO BE
‘STICKY’ SUBJECT
Many different types of labels can be found throughout a vehicle, and some of those labels
aren’t found on replacement parts used when repairing a damaged vehicle. The best method
of determining if a vehicle meets emissions regulations is to check the emissions label
found in the engine compartment on all Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Considering the fact
that a failure to adhere to local emissions regulations may result in substantial fines and other
penalties, the question quickly becomes – How do repairers replace important labels such as
vehicle emissions and engine information?
On Target has run similar stories in the past educating repairers on how to acquire vehicle labels for
use after a collision repair has taken place. Recently, the method for ordering important
information and warning labels has changed, but repairers can easily receive the replacement labels
by following these instructions.
In the case of emission information, which may be called Vehicle Emissions Control Information
(VECI), Important Vehicle Information (IVI), or Important Engine Information (IEI), labels can be
ordered for the current model year and also 13 years prior emissions. When a label needs to be
replaced for either a vehicle involved in a collision, or a vehicle completely missing any important
information labels, Form FPS-8604, revised in April 2004, must be used to order the required
label(s). It can be found on the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) or FMCDealer.com. The form
should be filled out and then faxed to (734) 374-8460, or mailed to:
ATTN: Vehicle Information Warning Label Coordinator
Ford Customer Service Division
PO Box 6212
Dearborn, MI 48121-6212
The FPS-8604 form requires the dealer to provide a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), only
when ordering an emissions label, and the original part number (if available) found on the existing
label, or in the WDS. If the part number is unknown, a description line is provided on the form.
For vehicles that have a non-Ford emissions label that identifies the engine manufacturer, such as the
International (Navistar), repairers should contact the engine manufacturer. The flowchart outlines the
process for service replacement of emissions-related labels.
The same form, FPS-8604, can be used to order all other information and warning labels on Ford,
Lincoln or Mercury vehicles with a model year of 1993 or later.
Repairers should note that there is a $5.00 charge for each label ordered and a $5.00
shipping/handling charge for each order. Ford Motor Company will only send labels to Ford, Lincoln
or Mercury Dealers, or Ford Authorized repair facilities. Independent collision repairers should
contact their local Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealers to order replacement labels.
In addition, a label helpline is available at (734) 374-8353 to answer your questions.

UPDATED RAIL SECTIONING KITS/ECONOLINE
TRANSMISSION CROSSMEMBERS NOW AVAILABLE
As part of its continuing effort to reduce collision repair costs and improve
the quality of repairs, Ford Motor Company has updated its list of available
rail sectioning kits, which now includes the 2004 F150. Ford has also
begun offering a separate chassis component – Econoline transmission
crossmembers – in an effort to facilitate repairers.
In the case of the sectioning kits
for the body-on-frame vehicles,
instruction sheets are included
BY FRANK WASSILAK with the service chassis
sections. It is important to note
that Ford Motor Company requires vehicles without front-end
frame/rail sectioning kits or procedures to have damaged parts
replaced with OEM service parts at the factory joints.
By using the sectioning kits, body shops can not only reduce
the cost of repairing front frame damage, but also reduce the number
of vehicles declared total losses. This second benefit is of particular
value for customers living in those states where laws require vehicles to be re-titled if a part that includes the VIN
number is replaced. The procedures benefit repairers by making more repair work possible, insurers by lowering
overall repair costs and vehicle owners by assuring high-quality structural repairs.
The first sectioning kits were offered in 1992 for the Econoline and Ranger models, after Ford’s Automotive Safety
Office initiated a requirement that future vehicles be designed to allow the front sections of the unitized front-ends
or chassis to be replaced following a collision. Since then, Ford Motor Company continues to believe that overall
collision repair and insurance costs can be reduced by offering effective repair alternatives to replacing the entire
chassis or unitized front-end assembly, or performing major repairs on those parts.
Ford currently offers rail sectioning kits for the following vehicle models:
As current model vehicles are redesigned and new models are introduced in the future, front rail
sectioning kits will be offered, where practical.
Another chassis service improvement Ford has recently made available is the Econoline
transmission crossmembers:

Used Vehicle Prices Rising
Manheim Auctions said its Used Vehicle Value
Index was up 5.0% in May compared to a year
ago, and that for the year it’s up 3.1%. ADESA,
meanwhile, reported its auction prices in April
were up versus year-ago levels for the second
month in a row, and that the average price of
vehicles seven years old or less jumped to
$10,963, a 6.4% increase over prior year.
Lower volume in off-lease models and a boost
in retail demand are cited as major reasons for
the improvement.
OE Direct Investigation
The Virginia Bureau of Insurance is reportedly
looking into Nationwide Insurance’s use of OE Direct
over possible violations of the state’s Consumer
Protection Act by providing customers an estimate
that didn’t correctly reflect the type of part they
were receiving. As reported by Hammer & Dolly,
one of Virginia’s Blue Ribbon shops contacted the
state and claimed that when the shop refused to
participate in the program unless the parts were
listed correctly, it was subsequently removed from
the Blue Ribbon program.
A Nationwide spokesperson told Hammer & Dolly that
the company is working on how the OE Direct parts
show up on the CCC estimates. The Bureau of Insurance
says it will contact the insurer to discuss the program.
NACE Registration Begins/Hosts New
ASA Seminar
The International Autobody Congress & Exposition, the
world’s largest collision repair trade show, has opened
its online registration for this year’s show, at
www.NACEexpo.com. The event is scheduled for Nov.
3-6 at the new Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las
Vegas. The show will take place concurrently with the
Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week, also in Las
Vegas, that includes the SEMA and AAPEX shows.
NACE is also the stage for the new Automotive Service
Association developed seminar designed to direct
repairers to the OEM collision repair information
currently available online. The three-hour course,
entitled, "Electronic Service Information in a Collision
Repair Facility," includes live demonstrations of the
material available, and is scheduled to be taught at
several events this year, besides NACE.
The Automotive Management Institute approved the
class, and participants will get credit toward their
Accredited Automotive Manager designation.
Former shop owner Bill Haas, who now serves as
vice president of ASA’s collision and mechanical
divisions, is slated as the seminar’s instructor.
PCI Fast Track Report – Collision Claims Down
First quarter results from the Property Casualty
Insurance Association’s Fast Track report are in, and
collision claims are down again comparatively to 2003.
The report, which includes data from 50 top auto
insurers that represent about 70% of the total market,
found that first quarter 2004 paid collision claims
dropped 3.3%, compared to the first quarter of last
year. The decline continues an overall downward trend
since the first quarter of 2001. When compared to that
quarter, this year’s total is down more than 11%.
First quarter 2004 paid collision losses dropped 2.4%
when compared to the year-ago quarter.
The PCI Fast Track report is a joint venture between
the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America,
the Insurance Services Office and the National
Independent Statistical Service.

Expert Advice with John Hughes
FORD APPROVES SEVEN
SPOT WELDERS AFTER TESTING
The quest for better quality collision repairs is not only limited to the parts and
paint used to complete the jobs in our body shops, but also the equipment we
rely on to make a competent repair for our customers.
In an effort to offer guidance along those lines, Ford Motor Company has approved
seven spot welders for collision repair use after completion of an extensive testing
program that involved analysis of welding strength, button size and peel tests on galvanized coupons. Tests
also were completed using wet and dry structural adhesives and sealers. The coupons were reviewed for
button size and burn back through the adhesives.
The approved spot welders that meet the minimum requirements for repairs on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury
vehicles include:
Manufacturer / Contact / Spot Welder
• AMH Canada / www.amh.ca / Model- CompuSpot 700HF
• Milweld Inc. / 920-779-0916 / Model- Elektron M100
•Pro Spot Int’l. Inc. / www.prospot.com / Model- ProSpot PR 10 & Model- ProSpot PR2000
• Saitek (Vanguard Technologies) / www.saitek.net / Model- Saitek SK5w & Model- Saitek SK5
•Tecna (Cebotech, Inc.) / www.tecna.net / Model- Tecna ART3650 Inverter
Based on testing results, here’s a checklist for repairers who are considering the purchase of spot welding equipment:
Electrical Power
Repair shops must be electrically equipped to handle resistance welders. Shops should have minimum
60-amp, 3-phase, 208-volt service to handle most resistance welding transformer or inverter equipment.
The distance from breaker box to outlet should always be less than 50 feet.An acceptable circuit consists of
a 60-amp breaker with #6 wire; a better circuit is an 80-amp breaker with #4 wire; the best circuit is a
100-amp breaker using #2 wire.(Caution:If you have a Delta leg (110v, 110v, 220v compared to normal
3-phase power of 110v, 110v, 110v), make sure the equipment you purchase works with a Delta leg.)
Air vs. Liquid-Cooled
Air-cooled welders use air for cooling, as well as for pincher pressure. Air for cooling and pressure may
be continuous or intermittent.Some "continuous" units require large amounts of compressed air for cooling
purposes. This can increase electricity costs. Additionally, some equipment requires high air pressure
(150psi) for optimum performance.Liquid-cooled welders require minimal compressed air. There are a
variety of styles: Some cool welding tips only; some cool tips and cables only; some cool tips, cables and the
inverter; and some cool tips and the inverter only. Liquid-cooled machines generally have an improved duty
cycle and decreased adhesive burn-back when weld bonding.
Manual vs. Computerized
Manual welders are less expensive than computerized units but require more training to master. Computerized
resistance spot welders are much less complex to operate.
Gun Tips and Pressure
Tips make a difference. Flat tips are most widely used today. Round tips work well when welding through
adhesive.Conical tips require high maintenance. Tip pressure also is important. High pressure is required to
weld through adhesive "weld bond". Low tip pressure causes sparks and excessive adhesive burn through.
Welding Through Adhesive
Class A weld bonding requires: Correct tip pressure (high is good; low isn’t); proper amperage; appropriate
gun/tip configuration; appropriate weld time; minimum adhesive burn-back pattern around weld nugget.
Product Support
Products are only as good as the support you are provided. Here are a few suggested questions you might
want to ask: What are the basic warranty provisions for the equipment? How many sales representatives does
the company employ? How many service representatives does it employ? What will my down time be if the
equipment stops working? Does the company offer replacements or loaners? What are the hours for
telephone and e-mail support? Does the company provide on-site technical assistance support?
If you’ve got questions or comments, you can e-mail me at jhughes2@ford.com.
