Interstate debris damage

[robsmack01]

I took a hit on the undercarriage and some damage. It looks like a stabilizing connector that also possibly holds the em brake line got bent. Bolt broke off too. Any suggestions for a fix? Besides just trying to bend it back. How urgent is it that I fix?

I’d get it fixed at the dealer if under warranty and if not then the best body shop you can find.

I had a similar fix on my charger done by the dealer 8-9 years ago and it has not held up well. The “fixed” weld broke so now my underbody panel hangs down.

Get it up on a lift if you haven't already. This won't be covered by your warranty like mentioned above, but could be covered by your insurance if you needed to claim it. Just have someone you trust look it over. Doesn't have to be the dealer.

Thanks for the advice! Going to get it looked at next week. I will follow up and let yall know.

Make sure to mention that the object was moving when you hit it. Comprehensive vs collision claim. A stationary object is considered collision.

That won't be covered by any warranty anymore than any wreck would. It's not a failure if a part, it's damage from being struck.
And since it won't be a warranty repair I'd stay well away from a dealer!
Someone suggested a body shop, which isn't a bad suggestion but I think I'd rather take it to a trusted mechanic.
As for claiming it on insurance, I'd want an estimate before I'd do anything that might make a CarFax report.
