Flood-damaged vehicles can be detected. Both third-party inspection agencies and 4S shops can perform inspections for flood-damaged vehicles. Below is additional information: Flood-Damaged Vehicles: As the name suggests, flood-damaged vehicles refer to cars that have been submerged in water. Vehicles typically have markings indicating their wading depth in centimeters. When a vehicle exceeds this wading height, it can be classified as flood-damaged. Based on the extent of water damage, these vehicles can be divided into two types: one where the water level exceeds the wheels and enters the interior, referred to as partially flood-damaged vehicles, and another where the entire vehicle is submerged, known as severely flood-damaged vehicles. Hazards: The dangers of flood-damaged vehicles are significant. If a car is submerged, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening its lifespan and reducing safety performance. Flood-damaged vehicles can cause corrosion and rusting of electrical wires, leading to sudden engine shutdowns or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, engine stalls at high speeds, airbags failing to deploy in critical moments or deploying unexpectedly, among other unimaginable consequences.
