pothole damage
Pavement pit injury
Pothole damage is harm to a vehicle caused by striking a pothole—the road hazards that form when pavement deteriorates.
The term appears most often in insurance claims and repair shop invoices: My insurance doesn't cover pothole damage.
Common forms include bent wheels, damaged tires, and misaligned suspension components.
