Last November, Claims reported on five automakers that issued position statements on diagnostic scanning as a component of the collision repair process.
Infiniti USA, General Motors (GM) and Mercedes-Benz (MBUSA) have since joined the discussion with their positions on post-collision diagnostic scanning.
Infiniti's one page scan position statement was released in September; GM issued their position statement in October, and the MBUSA position statement appeared in late November.
|Infiniti's scanning recommendations
The Infiniti USA scanning position was an initial industry extrapolation of Nissan's (Infiniti's parent company) June 2016 position statement. In 2012, Infiniti began to distinguish itself in corporate structure, location and name as a formidable global brand in the luxury automobile market. The September release of Infiniti's own position statement is a natural extension of that distinction. The position statement is basically commensurate with that of Nissan North America with one notable clarification, Infiniti indicates that the position applies to 1996 and newer vehicles representing the 1996 introduction of the current OBDII standard in automotive diagnostics.
