2020 ACURA RDX

The vehicle is a 2020 Acura RDX with a public salvage title and an auction-reported primary damage classification of rear end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with severe damage to the rear liftgate, rear window, bumper assembly, and rear body corners. The rear liftgate glass is completely missing, with jagged glass remnants around the opening and the vehicle interior visible through it. The liftgate and lower rear panel are heavily crushed, creased, and displaced, with open gaps and an exposed license-plate recess. The rear bumper cover is split, broken, and partially missing; the metal bumper reinforcement and other internal components are exposed. The right rear body corner has torn and sharply deformed panels, missing trim, exposed internal components, and an open cavity. Detached exterior parts, including a body-colored panel, bumper trim pieces, and a rear lamp or trim component, are lying on the ground. A minor scrape with chipped paint is also present on the lower front bumper corner. The instrument display shows a “Power Tailgate System Problem. Operate Manually. See Your Dealer.” warning, so the power tailgate system requires diagnosis. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-wheel-drive Acura RDX SUV equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the Advance package. The vehicle was manufactured by American Honda Motor Co. in the United States. The provided NHTSA recall information lists recalls concerning the low-pressure fuel pump, front seat-belt buckle assemblies, and the front passenger seat occupant-classification weight sensor. Fuel-pump failure may cause an engine stall, while the seat-belt and occupant-classification issues may affect occupant protection. Recall repairs are described as free through authorized dealers; completion status for this vehicle should be verified by VIN before purchase.
