What Are the Scrapping Standards for Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

[KennedyAnn]

When a vehicle cannot meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles even after repair and adjustment, it must be scrapped. The following is relevant information about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Introduction: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to one that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with the water level exceeding the wheels and body seats, and the vehicle's underbody components being in prolonged contact with water. 2. Hazards of Flood-Damaged Vehicles: The dangers of water-damaged vehicles are significant. If a vehicle is submerged, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening its service life and reducing safety performance. For example, water damage can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, with potentially unimaginable consequences.
