In the state of Michigan, when major component parts of a vehicle have been replaced on a salvage title, it is required to provide invoices that detail where these parts were obtained, especially if the part came from another vehicle. The invoices must include specific information, such as the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the donor car if the part was sourced from a used vehicle.
Here is the list of major component parts in Michigan that require such documentation:
1. Engine
2. Passenger vehicle body
3. Pickup cargo box
4. Frame
5. Truck cab
6. Doors
7. Transmission
8. Right or left front fender
9. Hood
10. Trunk or floor pan
11. Front or rear bumper
12. Right or left rear quarter panel

This requirement is in place to ensure transparency and proper documentation when major component parts are replaced on a salvage vehicle, helping authorities track the origin and legality of these parts. It also helps prevent the use of stolen parts or fraudulent practices in rebuilding salvage vehicles. It's important for individuals in Michigan dealing with salvage vehicles to adhere to these regulations to comply with state laws.
