MY12 VE COMMODORE SIDE
IMPACT SENSOR LOCATION CHANGE
APRIL 2012
Body side assemblies for MY12 VE/WM vehicles have an internal difference compared to all production up
to and including MY11.
MY 11 and prior body side assemblies cannot be used to repair a MY12 vehicle, due to changes in the
side impact sensor and the sheet metal in the lower B pillar area.
When 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 plus an adaptor piece for mounting the side impact
sensor. Part numbers are shown on the table below.
The original part numbers can be used for MY07 to MY11 vehicles until stock is exhausted.

cutting the door aperture. (There is an authorised method for VE Sedan, VE Sportwagon and WM sedan.)
Holden is currently working on a solution for VE utility to contain replacement costs.
