Does Water Inside the Car Count as a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?
1 Answers
Water inside the car does not count as a flood-damaged vehicle. The specific details are as follows: 1. Clogged Drain Pipes: Prolonged use of the car in different environments and parking areas can lead to the accumulation of dust or leaf debris, which over time can block the drain pipes. 2. Water Accumulation: When the drain pipes are clogged, rainwater can seep into the interior through the front windshield, forming puddles under the seats. Water inside the car does not count as a flood-damaged vehicle. A flood-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the wiring harness has been soaked, the water depth exceeds one-third of the wheel height, and the lower body components have been in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant safety risks.
