2022 AUDI A6 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this 2022 Audi A6 as having a salvage certificate of title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is extensively creased and deformed across the front and center sections, with a folded, irregular front edge. The front bumper cover and fascia are extensively damaged, with large sections missing and broken components exposed across the center and vehicle-left corner. The central grille assembly is absent, and the vehicle-left headlamp is absent or extensively broken, exposing internal components and wiring. The vehicle-left front fender is severely deformed with torn edges around the headlamp and hood junction. Broken and exposed mounting pieces, wiring, and other components are visible behind the damaged front corner. The front engine-bay area is exposed around the radiator and condenser, with loose or displaced wiring and surrounding front-end components that appear damaged. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed. A minor, narrow linear scratch is also present on the vehicle-left rear quarter panel above and forward of the rear wheel. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Audi A6 sedan in the quattro Premium Plus trim, equipped with a gasoline 3.0-liter six-cylinder 55 TFSI engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list the following recalls applicable to this model and model year: recall 22V368000 for an engine-control-unit short circuit that may cause an engine stall; recall 22V806000 for an infotainment-unit failure that may prevent the rearview-camera display; recall 22V861000 concerning liquid intrusion and possible gateway-control-module shutdown; recall 22V155000 for an inaccurate fuel-level reading caused by a sticking fuel-level sender; and recall 25V900000 concerning software that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying as intended. The completion status of these recalls is not provided. Given the severe front-end impact and deployed airbags, a comprehensive structural, cooling-system, wiring, restraint-system, diagnostic, and mechanical inspection is required before purchase or repair.
