As a direct result of product improvements and manufacturing tooling changes, the VE and WM car body side assemblies applicable to MY12 vehicles are now different to those on earlier models (start of production to MY11 inclusive).
The changes involve the side impact sensor and the sheet metal in the lower B pillar area.
- MY 11 and prior body side assemblies cannot be used to repair a MY12 vehicle.
- As stock of the earlier body side assemblies is exhausted, repair of MY07, 08, 09, 10, 11 VE/WM vehicles will require the MY12 body side assembly and an adaptor piece for mounting the side impact sensor. Part number information is shown on the table below; always refer to EPC as part number information may change.
Note
The original P/N's can be used for MY07 to MY11 vehicles until stock is exhausted.
