2021 AUDI A4 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a CERT OF SALVAGE designation and an auction claim of more than 75% damage. The auction’s primary-damage code is SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with extensive damage to the left rear door, quarter-panel area, rocker area, and side/curtain airbags. However, the photographs cannot confirm that the total damage exceeds 75%. The primary visible damage is concentrated on the left side. The left rear door outer panel is severely crushed, with deep deformation, sharp creasing, and damage around the door handle and lower section. The left rear quarter panel near the wheel opening is inwardly deformed and creased, particularly around the door-to-quarter junction and forward wheel-arch area. The rocker panel below the rear door also shows moderate wrinkling and deformation. The full extent of any damage to the underlying structure, door mechanisms, wheel or suspension components, and other concealed areas requires a physical inspection. Multiple airbags have deployed. Airbag fabric is hanging along the left roof and side interior, with additional deployed airbag material visible beside the front passenger seat. A deployed left rear curtain airbag is also visible above the rear seating area. Replacement of the airbags and associated sensors, trim, seat-belt components, and possible supplemental-restraint-system modules may be required; the provided findings do not establish which components need replacement. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Audi A4 quattro Premium Plus sedan with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 40 TFSI 2.0T engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. Four NHTSA recall campaigns are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V606000 concerns the middle-rear seat-belt automatic-locking retractor, which may deactivate early and fail to secure a child restraint properly. Recall 21V295000 concerns possible breakage of a rear-axle trailing-arm lock nut, which may cause rear-axle misalignment and loss of control; recall 22V034000 concerns rear-axle alignment inspection following repairs under 21V295000. Recall 22V742000 concerns a software issue that may cause the rearview-camera display to show a blank or black screen. The completion status of these recalls for this individual vehicle should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
