MODEL
E-Series
G07

Model Description
X7 Sport Activity Vehicle

Production Date
February 15 – February 25, 2023

SITUATION
Due to prolonged, normal body flex acting on the vehicle during its service life, a small indentation and/or a
crack can form in the body sheetmetal in the right rear wheelwell (aka wheel house). Potential water ingress
and a risk of corrosion is possible.

CAUSE
A possible error in the metal stamping tool for the wheelwell.

CORRECTION
Inspect the wheelwell hump and rework if necessary.

PROCEDURE
1. Remove the right rear wheelwell cover
following the repair instruction listed in
ISTA/AIR (51 71 041).

2. Inspect the circular pressed hump on right
rear wheelwell for any cracks and/or
indentations (arrow in photo).

Use a strong light to illuminate the area for the
visual inspection. Touch the hump with a
finger for a tactile inspection.
Note: Move the cables/wires aside to fully
see the hump.
Note: If no cracks or indentations are seen
or felt, no further action is needed.
Reassemble the vehicle

Note: This photo indicates a hump that
requires rework (no good). Continue to
Step 3.

3. Remove the luggage compartment panels following the repair instructions listed in ISTA/AIR (51 47 220).

4. Using the attached document in this SIB, cut
out the Parts replacement panel using the
template and dimensions provided.

7. The two ends of the crack/indentation must
be drilled using a 3 mm drill bit. This prevents
the crack/indentation from expanding.

Note: Before drilling, care must be taken to
not damage any internal parts or control
devices located on the back surface (in
luggage compartment wheelwell wall). If
necessary, remove them before drilling.
Note: After drilling, the drill chips must be
vacuumed out of the luggage
compartment.

8. Apply K5 adhesive to the panel.

Note: Review notes on handling K5
adhesive (41 00 repair instructions).

9. Place and press the panel onto the
wheelwell hump firmly. Coat the cut edges with
K5 adhesive. If necessary, secure the panel
using tape to prevent it from slipping off.

Note: Allow K5 adhesive to cure/harden for
approx. 10 hours at room temperature
(~68º F).
Note: Seal the area with D2 sealant.

10. Reassess the vehicle once repair is completed.

41 02 23_SERVICE ACTION: RIGHT REAR WHEELWELL HUMP

Invoice the eligible rework labor/used bulk materials in sublet on the repair order at the actual cost charged
with no handling or markup. The sublet amount must also include any discounts or allowances.
The appropriate charge for the “necessary repair-related rework procedures” is determined by comparing
the charged amount against the corresponding amount that is based on your warranty rates.
Prior to performing the repair, calculate your center’s repair cost and then obtain outside repair estimate(s)
for price comparison purposes.
It is your center’s responsibility to review the repair cost estimate prior to the repair being
performed. This will help ensure that the amount requested for the paint work is customary, fair,
and reasonable. Also, it must not exceed the scope of the repair work described in this bulletin.
Itemize the claimed sublet amount on the repair order and in the claim comment section.
Claim Repair Comments
Reference the SIB number and the work package (Pkg) number performed in the RO technician notes and the claim
comments (For example: B41 02 23 WP 1), unless otherwise required by State law.

Additionally for WP 3 through WP 8: As noted above, explain/itemize the claimed sublet amount.
