## NHTSA's summary

SERVICE NEWS ARTICLE \- APPLYING RANDOM HEAT OR WELDS TO THE BODY STRUCTURE RARELY FIXES A BODY NOISE PROBLEM. IN FACT, ON NEWER VEHICLES, WHICH USE MORE AND MORE HIGH\-STRENGTH STEEL \(HSS\) AND ULTRA\-HIGH\-STRENGTH STEEL \(UHSS\) TO MEET INCREASING COLLISION PROTECTION AND FUEL EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS, DOING THIS CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THAT CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR.

## The document
