2019 AUDI A4 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage code is SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the left side supports the SIDE classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs alone. The main visible damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front door is heavily crushed, creased, and torn, while the left front fender is extensively deformed around the door and rear wheel-arch area. The left rocker panel and side sill show crushing, torn metal or trim, and displaced material. A broad dent and crease are also visible on the left rear quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel. The left exterior mirror is broken or displaced, with internal components exposed. The left front lower bumper has a large irregular opening with broken edges and missing trim or insert material, exposing interior components. Inside the cabin, white side-airbag fabric is hanging beside the left front seat and upper side area. Curtain-airbag fabric is also extended from the left roof area along the rear passenger section. These deployed or exposed restraint components will require a complete airbag-system and occupant-restraint inspection, along with assessment of possible damage to the associated body structure, wiring, sensors, doors, and rocker area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Audi A4 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium Plus trim. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: recall 21V874000, concerning a contact fault in the seat-heater cable connected to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. The fault may cause the system to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger airbag. The stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the seat cover, free of charge. Recall completion for this particular vehicle should be verified with Audi using the VIN, especially given the visible interior airbag-related damage. A comprehensive inspection is recommended before purchase to determine the extent of structural, mechanical, electrical, and restraint-system repairs required.
