(1) If the vehicle has no damage or the damage is less than that defined in § 32-3-51.8, surrender the existing salvage title to the department. The department shall promptly issue a title marked as a recovered theft with no damage disclosure notation pursuant to § 32-3-51.8; or
(2) If the vehicle has damage equal to or greater than that defined in § 32-3-51.8, surrender the existing salvage title to the department. The department shall promptly issue a title marked as a recovered theft with the damage disclosure notation pursuant to § 32-3-51.8.
However, if the condition of the vehicle is such that it would have been determined a salvage vehicle as defined in § 32-3-51.19 due to the damage to the vehicle, the salvage title is retained and the insurer or self insurer is not required to apply for a title pursuant to this section.
