Door And Bumper Reinforcement Beams, And High-Strength Steel (1500 Mpa) Parts - Honda 2011 Odyssey Body Repair Manual

General Information
Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams, and High-Strength Steel (1500
MPa) Parts
The door and bumper reinforcement beams are made from high-strength steel.
The roof side front rail and roof arch D are made from the high-strength steel (1500 MPa) parts.
If high-strength steel is heated, the strength of the steel is reduced. If high-strength steel is damaged, for example, in a
collision, and the door and bumper reinforcement beams or the boron steel parts are bent, the beams or the boron steel
parts may crack when attempting to straighten them. If a door beam is damaged, the whole door panel assembly must
be replaced.
For this reason, the door, bumper reinforcement beams, and the boron steel parts should NEVER be repaired, and
NEVER be welded by MAG welding; they must be replaced by only spot welding if they are damaged.
