2020 AUDI A4 Premium

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reported that the visible side scuffing supports the SIDE damage claim, but also noted that a salvage title cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The most significant observed damage is inside the passenger compartment. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, the front passenger airbag is deployed from the dashboard, and a side-curtain airbag is deployed from the upper windshield and roof-side trim. These systems, along with their related sensors, control modules, wiring, and interior trim, will require professional inspection and likely replacement before the vehicle can be considered safe to operate. Multiple vertical scuff and abrasion marks are visible on the exterior door panels on the visible side. The hood edge and adjacent front fender area also show scratches, chipped paint, and exposed light-colored areas. The instrument cluster displays illuminated engine, airbag, and general warning indicators. The underlying causes of these warnings cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be diagnosed electronically and mechanically. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2020 Audi A4 Premium sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V295000 concerns possible failure of a rear-axle trailing-arm lock nut, which could misalign the axle and cause loss of control. Recall 22V034000 concerns inspection of rear-axle alignment following the earlier repair and possible uneven or premature tire wear. Recall 21V874000 concerns a passenger-seat heating/PODS cable fault that could disable the passenger airbag. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an Audi dealer, particularly given the deployed restraint systems and illuminated airbag warning indicator.
