Is Replacing the Radiator Support Frame Considered a Major Accident?
1 Answers
If the radiator support frame is integrated with the vehicle's body frame, replacing it would be considered a major accident. This is because the damaged radiator support frame needs to be cut out, and a new one must be welded in place, which compromises the integrity of the body frame. Conversely, if the radiator support frame is connected to the body frame with screws, replacing it will have no impact on the vehicle. Here is additional information: Potential hazards of replacing the radiator support frame: The radiator support frame is a wear-and-tear part, and replacing it is a normal procedure with no inherent hazards, as long as it is installed correctly and secured to prevent detachment. Essentially, the radiator support frame is a large bracket fixed to the front ends of the two front longitudinal beams, supporting components such as the radiator, condenser, and headlights.
