The requirement depends on the vehicle, model year, sensor layout, and whether the camera or bracket was disturbed. Ask for the manufacturer procedure and a calibration record before accepting the car.   ADAS windshield calibration should be checked against the exact vehicle procedure.

The camera, bracket, or related trim was removed. A collision repair affected the windshield frame, suspen...
