Yellow marks under hood??

[deerefan]

My wife and I purchased a 2015 Armada in July last year. Had about 52k miles, overall good condition. Clean Carfax, 1 owner. These marks pictured under the hood are weird. Don’t body shops use these to line things up? Noticed some white ones under car when changing oil too. Not sure what they are for. Pics attached.

Very weird could be body shop marks...:confused3:

Just because the. CARFAX is clean, doesn't mean there hasn't been damage! Just means it was a cash repair job and not a claim job!

That is my thinking. Bashed in grill or something *

Inspector's confirmation marks at a final assembly inspection station at the factory? Sometimes you will see marks on fasteners like bolts, nuts, clamps.

New vehicles have them. It's a part of tracking and QC.

Not that bright at 52k miles!

Without knowing exact factory markings or being able look in person I wouldn’t make a guess based on the pics. But can say that I have seen many cars with clean car faxes that were clearly wrecked and repaired. It happens a lot more than most know!

My brand new Taco Wagon has them. QC confirmation marks. When a nut/bolt is tightened. But after 52k miles - I think not. Confirmation of something considerably more recent - installed & nut/bolt tightened.

Typically means replacement parts.
