Is Replacing the Bumper Beam Considered a Major Accident?
1 Answers
Replacing the bumper beam is not considered a major accident. Below is an introduction to the functions of an automotive bumper beam: 1. Evenly Distribute Force: When a vehicle is involved in a collision, the front bumper beam can distribute the energy generated from any form of offset or frontal collision as evenly as possible between the two energy-absorbing brackets. This ensures that the energy is absorbed by the brackets to the greatest extent and evenly transmitted to other energy-absorbing components. 2. Protect Components: During low-speed rear-end collisions or similar impacts in urban traffic, the front bumper beam plays a role in protecting components such as the fenders, radiator, hood, and lights. The rear bumper beam can reduce damage to areas like the trunk, tailgate, and rear light assembly.
