Vehicles where the rear quarter panel has been damaged by impact exceeding one-third of its area; 3. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed longitudinal beams; 4. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed shock absorber mounts; 5. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed A, B, or C pillars; 6. Vehicles whose airbags have deployed due to impact; 7. Vehicles with severe welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation in other non-removable parts; 8.
