2017 ACURA MDX SH-AWD (Tech)

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible large deformation and missing fuel-filler door on the left side support the auction’s unverified SIDE damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The 2017 Acura MDX has severe collision damage to the left rear door, including a large irregular dent, multiple deep creases, and scrape-like marks across the outer door skin. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area also show moderate inward deformation, uneven contours, and surface scuffing. The left rear fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and surrounding panel exposed. Fabric is hanging from the roof-side headliner along the side-window area. Its appearance is consistent with a deployed side-curtain airbag. The vehicle should therefore undergo a complete restraint-system inspection, including checks for additional deployed or damaged components. The available findings do not establish the condition of the frame, suspension, drivetrain, fuel system, or other mechanical systems. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Acura MDX SH-AWD (Tech), a gasoline-powered SUV with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. The VIN is 5J8YD4H59HL000329, and the vehicle was manufactured by American Honda Motor Co. in the United States. NHTSA records provided for this model and year identify recalls involving the fuel pump and fuel-pump performance, rear brake-caliper pistons, tailgate-lid lighting, the engine connecting-rod bearing, the front-passenger seat occupant-classification sensor, and possible corrosion of the rear subframe at suspension mounting points. The applicable recall remedies should be verified by VIN with Acura, and completion status should be confirmed before purchase.
