Damaged on Delivery??

Damaged on Delivery??
Help with this.
My brother is in the process of taking delivery of a new truck. The dealership called him today and said the during the delivery of the truck, the truck got damaged and that they had to do some minor body work to repair the truck. Replace panel and paint, etc.
He is still interested in taking the truck once it is fixed.
My question is: I remember hearing that once a vehicle was damaged and body work done, the dealership could no longer sell it as a new vehicle. They had to sell it as a used vehicle. Thereby reducing the price when compared to a new model.
Is this true?
The only reason I ask is that a friend of mine living in ON, Canada, had this exact thing happen to them and they were told by the dealer that it could no longer be sold as a new vehicle. So the dealer reduced the price to entice the prospective buyer to continue with the purchase.
Should this also occur with my brother??
Thanks
