2005 - Salvage Terms / 2006 - Steering 15 pages in Acrobat
Adopted Definitions: Clean Up of a recyclable part is clearly defined as: “To wash/degrease all contaminants from the part.” Repair of a recyclable part is clearly defined as: “The steps/processes needed to return the part to an undamaged condition (e.g., removal of dents, scratches, gauges, chips, or excessive film build).” Prep/Trim of a recyclable part is clearly defined as: “The additional processes needed to prepare a recyclable part for use, such as cutting, trimming or removing the required part from the waste salvage structure. Keep in mind that “prep” is a generic term and the operations necessary will vary on a part-by-part basis.” |

Salvage Terms Discussion; 2006 Assignment "Steering" 13 pages in Acrobat
Draft Definition for Steering: To encourage a consumer to take their vehicle to a preferred repair facility through an unsolicited suggestion, overt recommendation, introduction of undue hardship (e.g., "You'll have to pay the difference if you go there" or” There could be a loss of factory warranty by not repairing there”), or by unobtrusively guiding the consumer in their decision on where to get their vehicle repaired. |
