Alloy wheel damage severity codes
List of alloy wheel damage severity codes
Severity Codes
All sublet alloy wheel repair and refinish allowances under severity codes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 must be completed at an approved alloy wheel repair facility.
Minor cosmetic polishing and/or refinishing put on the Repair Estimate (CL14) as judgement time, but not as a sublet alloy wheel repair and refinish allowance, may be performed by an alternative qualified supplier.
Alloy wheel damage is coded according to the severity of the damage.
| Severity code | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1 | Refinish or partial refinish. |
| 3 | Cosmetic weld repairs to nicks and gouges including minor straightening and re-machining of surface. |
| 5 | Bends, multiple bends, welds to extensive gouges and build-up of outer flanges and edges. |
| 7 | Section broken out of outer rim flanges and cracked flanges. Severe ends and extensive welding. |
| 9 |
Bends, weld repairs or damage that is closely approaching the not repairable state.
Note: A wheel that has previously had a severity code 9 repair will not be repaired a second time for another severity code 9 damage.
