What are the compensation standards for scrapping water-damaged vehicles?
1 Answers
Water-damaged vehicles do not have separate scrapping standards. Whether they are scrapped or not follows the same standards as vehicles damaged by other causes. Below is relevant information: 1. Water-damaged vehicles: These refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and body seats, and the vehicle's bottom components have been in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and fires. 2. Hazards: If a vehicle is submerged in water, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and reducing its safety performance. For example, water damage can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden engine shutdowns or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, with potentially dire consequences.
