A flood vehicle, or flood-damaged car, is a vehicle that has been partially or fully submerged in water, leading to significant and potentially hidden damage to its body, engine, and electronics. These vehicles often receive a "salvage" or "flood" title, which should be disclosed by sellers. Hurricane Katrina flooded and damaged an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 vehicles along the Gulf Coast, with about 300,000 vehicle insurance claims filed due to the storm. Efforts were made to identify and destroy these water-damaged cars, but thousands still resurfaced on the used car market, sometimes with hidden damage.Email the show: [email protected]: Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSANews: What Is Hydroplaning, And What Should You Do If It Happens?Auto Casey Car Review: 2026 Subaru Solterra | Short take Hosted on Acast.
