Is Frame Rail Deformation Considered a Major Accident?

[CeciliaRose]

Rear frame rail reshaping is considered a major accident. Accident vehicles generally refer to those with structural damage. Below is the classification of accident vehicles: 1. Minor accident vehicles: If the damaged parts of the vehicle are replaceable components (such as front bumper damage, headlight damage, front fender damage, etc.), it is considered a minor accident. Such vehicles are not what is commonly referred to as accident vehicles, but they do depreciate in value. 2. Major accident vehicles: If the damaged parts of the vehicle are non-replaceable areas (such as frame rails, rocker panels, A/B/C pillars, etc.), and can only be repaired through reshaping, cutting, welding, etc., then it is considered a severe accident vehicle.
