Front Bumper Reinforcement: Description and Operation
Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams
The door and bumper reinforcement beams used on Honda vehicles are made from a metal equivalent to high-strength steel.
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 are bent, the beams 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 and bumper reinforcement beams should NEVER be repaired; they must be replaced if they are damaged.
