A local junk yard has 3 - 2012 Leafs that are claimed to have been flooded up to the bottom seat level - likely for some time. Has anyone seen the results of such flooding on the HV system? I'd assume the 12 v system is severely damaged, but what about all the HV equipment including inverter, motor, DC/DC junction box, battery, PTC heater, AC compressor, etc, etc. My guess is that total immersion would eventually get everywhere, including thru the HV battery vent, connectors, seals, whatever.
I asked the junk dealer what he expected to sell from these cars (warned him to be extremely careful when dismantling any parts on these cars!!) and he replied, the body parts only.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has seen the results of the immersion of HV components for an extended time.
