What are the classification levels for water-damaged vehicles?
1 Answers
Water-damaged vehicle classification levels are indicators that measure the extent of water damage a vehicle has sustained. Below are detailed descriptions of the relevant content: Water Damage Level 1: The water level just reaches the vehicle's chassis, and the floor may become damp, but the likelihood of significant water ingress is low, with minimal impact on the vehicle's electrical equipment. Water Damage Level 2: The water level reaches halfway up the wheels. Due to the vehicle's incomplete sealing, water will begin to enter the interior. For lower-bodied sedans, the water level inside may affect the seat adjustment motors, as well as electrical components like heating and ventilation. Water Damage Level 3: The water level almost completely submerges the tires. At this point, the water level inside the vehicle will fully immerse the seat cushions and the central armrest area, while also affecting a large number of electrical components.
