Does Replacing a Car Door Count as a Major Accident?

[DeAaliyah]

Replacing a car door does not count as a major accident, but the vehicle is still considered an accident-damaged car. If the accident is severe and damages the overall frame or chassis components, such a vehicle would typically be classified as a severely accident-damaged car, significantly impacting its resale value. Car doors provide access for drivers and passengers, isolate external disturbances, and to some extent mitigate side impacts to protect occupants. The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, during a side impact, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy for occupants to be injured.
