Recommended Practice for Optimizing Automobile Damageability and Repairability

2016-02-03
HISTORICAL
J1555_201602
This SAE Recommended Practice applies to all portions of the vehicle, but design efforts should focus on components and systems with the highest contribution to the overall average repair cost (see 3.7). The costs to be minimized include not only insurance premiums, but also out-of-pocket costs incurred by the owner. Damageability, repairability, serviceability and diagnostics are inter-related. Some repairability, serviceability and diagnostics operations may be required for collision or comprehensive loss-related causes only. Some operations may be for non-collision-related causes only (warranty, scheduled maintenance, non-scheduled maintenance, etc.). Some may be required for both causes. The scope of this document deals with only those operations that involve collision and comprehensive insurance loss repairs.

Seat Belt Hardware Webbing Abrasion Performance Requirements

2013-06-11
CURRENT
J114_201306
This SAE Recommended Practice describes the performance requirements for abrasion resistance of webbing when used in adjustment hardware normally used to adjust the length of seat belt assemblies such as those described in SAE J140. These requirements are applicable to tests conducted according to the procedure described in SAE J339. Although adjustment hardware is normally the primary source of webbing abrasion in a seat belt assembly, consideration should be given to other areas of normal webbing contact in the restraint system that may provide a more severe condition of webbing abrasion.

OEM Plastic Parts Repair

2011-12-20
HISTORICAL
J1573_201112
This SAE Recommended Practice defines the information required to repair the various types of plastics found on modern light-duty highway vehicles. Information is included for the repair and refinishing of most plastic body parts, both interior and exterior. Repair information is described for all commonly used plastics including, but not limited to, polyurethanes, polycarbonate blends, modified polypropylenes, polyethylenes and nylons. Repairs can be made to these types of plastics using two-part (2K) repair adhesives, plastic welding, and other materials available from body shop suppliers. When a new type of plastic is being introduced to the market through a new vehicle program, specific repair and refinishing procedures should be provided, following the format in this document. Sheet-molded compounds (SMC), fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) and carbon fiber reinforced plastics can also be repaired using slightly different procedures and repair materials.

Heavy-Duty Starter Remanufacturing Procedures

2008-11-26
CURRENT
J2237_200811
These remanufacturing procedures are recommended minimum guidelines (with the understanding that more stringent procedures are acceptable) for use by remanufacturers of heavy-duty starters to promote consistent reliability, durability, and safety of remanufactured starters. Installation of remanufactured or rebuilt products is often an economical way to repair an application even though the products may not be identical to original equipment parts. Before processing any part, a remanufacturer should determine if the original design and present condition of the core are suitable for remanufacturing so as to provide durable operation of the part as well as acceptable performance when installed on the application. The remanufacturer should also consider the safety aspects of the product and any recommendations of the original manufacturers related to remanufacturing or rebuilding their product.
