Is Replacing a Fender Considered a Major Accident?
1 Answers
Car fenders are replaceable components, so replacing a fender is not considered a major accident. Generally, damage to non-removable parts of a car is classified as a major accident, while damage to detachable and replaceable parts is not. More details are as follows: 1. Car Composition: A car's body consists of the body frame and body panels. The body panels mainly include the front and rear bumpers, engine hood, fenders, doors, and trunk lid. 2. Identifying an Accident Car: If the body panels of a car are damaged, it does not mean the car is an accident car because these panels can be detached and replaced. However, if the car's frame is damaged, it indicates structural damage, classifying the car as an accident car.
