I am certain that the powder coat will be removed and the tridion will be painted with regular lacquer. That's how collision repairs on tridions are done, and I doubt they'd be wanting to strip all the guts off a car for a re-powder coat. It would be cheaper for smart to scrap them.

I have been on two factory tours in Hambach France and when there is a tridion with bad finish, they........paint the car with lacquer in a spray booth at the end of the line. This recall will be the same.
