Should the vehicle bumper be repaired or replaced after damage assessment?
1 Answers
If the damage to a new car's bumper does not meet the replacement criteria, it is recommended to repair it rather than replace it. Below are the standards for assessing bumper damage and determining whether replacement is necessary: 1. Broken or fractured mounting ears or fixing brackets near the wheel positions: If the mounting ears or fixing brackets near the wheel positions on the front or rear bumper are broken or fractured, the bumper meets the replacement criteria. 2. One-third area deformation: If the bumper is cracked with a length exceeding 20 centimeters, or if it is severely twisted or deformed due to a collision, affecting one-third of its area, it can be replaced. 3. Dents and cracks at critical positions: If there are dents and cracks at critical positions of the bumper, it can be replaced. 4. Severe fractures or damage in other areas: If other parts of the bumper are severely fractured or damaged, it can be replaced.
