No explicit Make or Model for the automobile is provided within the text. However, it is identified that the document is related to INFINITI vehicles collectively. The content is a position statement rather than a traditional automobile manual. It is titled “POSITION STATEMENT: Single-Use Parts Replacement” and does not include a specific year of the automobile.
This position statement from INFINITI Americas addresses the importance of safety in the repair process of INFINITI vehicles. The manufacturer stresses that certain vehicle parts are intended for single use only and should be discarded rather than reused after removal. The integrity of repairs and the vehicle’s safety may be jeopardized if these parts are not replaced with new ones upon disassembly.
Repair professionals are urged to refer to the Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for guidance on identifying these single-use parts. Examples provided include stationary glass, safety restraint systems, mechanical components, as well as more peripheral items such as emblems, nameplates, fasteners, clips, bolts, screws, and interior trim pieces. Attention is specifically called to the necessity of replacing any adhesives or adhesive tapes when they are separated from their original part during repairs.
The statement also emphasizes that INFINITI Americas’ New Vehicle Limited Warranty and Limited Warranty on replacement parts are only applicable to Genuine INFINITI replacement parts. Consequently, the use of non-Genuine INFINITI parts may lead to the nullification of warranty coverage and INFINITI will not cover repair costs resulting from vehicle or part failure due to the use of unauthorized parts.
To ensure compliance with their standards and maintenance of vehicle integrity, INFINITI provides additional collision information and resources for proper identification and handling of single-use parts through their collision support website. Additionally, specific model information can be accessed through the INFINITI technical information website.
The statement concludes with a reinforcement of the brand’s tagline, “INFINITI EMPOWER THE DRIVE,” encapsulating their commitment to empowering INFINITI vehicle owners and repair professionals with the knowledge and guidelines required to maintain the high standards of safety and quality inherent to the INFINITI brand.
