[{"type":"text","content":"COLMAR, Pa., Jan. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading aftermarket vehicle parts supplier, announced today the release of 400 new motor vehicle parts, 150 of which are first-to-the-aftermarket. These new releases continue Dorman’s industry-leading innovation that delivered more than 4,000 new products in 2022 alone. All these new products advance Dorman’s mission of providing repair professionals and vehicle owners greater freedom to fix passenger, commercial, and recreational vehicles with internal combustion, hybrid, and electric powertrains. Among the new releases this month are several innovative Dorman OE FIX™ repair solutions designed to help save time, save money, and increase reliability.

This Dorman tailgate applique offers a high-quality, less expensive alternative that looks just like the factory trim piece and is simple to install. Thanks to a creative removable panel, it is designed to be used with the existing hatch release button or backup camera if so equipped, and can restore the appearance of the tailgate trim without purchasing unnecessary additional replacement parts. Dorman continues to grow its comprehensive line of OE FIX heater hose assemblies, engineering aluminum connectors in place of the original equipment plastic connectors that tend to develop cracks and leaks over time. This month, two new assemblies, 626-763 for 2011-2014 Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickup trucks, and 626-752 for 2010-2013 Ford Transit vans, offer more than a combined one million repair opportunities. Like all Dorman’s OE FIX hose assemblies, these new parts include the clamps, brackets and protective coverings installers need for a more convenient and reliable repair. The company is also adding to its growing lineup of loaded brake backing plates with new, aftermarket-exclusive coverage for almost 2 million 2011-2012 Cadillac, Chevrolet, and ...
