Interesting.
About 10 years back I was hit in the rear of my Holden Caprice. The tow bar looked totally unmarked but the insurers insisted the entire tow hitch was replaced. Didn't worry me much -I wasn't paying - but it sure looked like overkill to me.
But looking at the insurers point, they didn't know if it had sustained any overload impact so it would be cheaper for them to replace the entire unit rather than a claim being made if the item had failed in service.
