Default Car Insurance Claim --Used parts

I learned something new. I had my Dodge pickup repaired after a minor accident. The bill said they replaced the radiator...I called the Ins. Company and gave them a heads up that the radiator was not replaced. They said it was probably replaced with a salvaged radiator. They said with any car over 2 years old, they can use salvaged parts.

It turns out it does not look like the radiator was replaced (with a new or salvaged one) and I think the body shop either made a mistake or scammed the inc. company. I can't find any marks that would indicate that the radiator was touched. They replaced the lower hose, so I think that was the problem all along!

What if my seat was damaged, would a get a salvaged seat some guy was farting in for the past few years!!
