Rear Bumper: Description and Operation
Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams
Door and bumper reinforcement beams used on Honda automobiles are made from a metal equivalent to High Strength Steel.
Should High Strength Steel be heated, the strength of the steel will be reduced. If High Strength Steel is damaged, as in a automobile accident where the
door reinforcement beams are bent, the beams may crack should any attempt be made to straighten them.
For this reason, Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams should never be repaired, they should be replaced if they become damaged.
NOTE: If a door beam is damaged, the whole door panel assembly should be replaced.
