2019 AUDI A6 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is a 2019 Audi A6 listed with a salvage title. The auction’s primary-damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage at the hood, front bumper, grille, front left fender, and front left headlamp area. The hood has severe buckling and creasing across its front section, with a raised uneven edge and open gaps at both front corners. The front left fender is severely crushed and torn around the headlamp and wheel-arch areas. The front left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The front bumper cover is severely broken and partially detached, with large openings, displaced plastic, and hanging components at the left front corner. The grille and lower front trim also have broken and displaced sections. The front left engine-bay corner contains exposed wiring, broken plastic parts, and visible internal assemblies where exterior components are missing. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the left-side curtain airbags are inflated and hanging along the roof and side-window area. The extent of the visible damage indicates that comprehensive structural, body, lighting, electrical, and supplemental-restraint-system inspections will be required before repair or road use. The findings do not establish the condition of components that are not visible. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2019 Audi A6. Campaign 20V153000 concerns certain 2.0TFSI mild-hybrid vehicles, where moisture may enter the starter generator and cause an electrical short and potential fire; the remedy is starter-generator replacement. Campaign 21V159000 concerns the passenger airbag score line and possible improper deployment; the remedy is inspection and repair if necessary. Campaign 22V155000 concerns an inaccurate fuel-level reading caused by a sticking fuel-level sender, with sensor replacement as the remedy. Campaign 22V861000 concerns liquid entering the rear gateway control module and potentially reducing engine power; the remedy is installation of a protective cover. Campaign 23V601000 concerns an incorrectly labeled brake-fluid cap, requiring inspection and replacement if necessary. Campaign 25V900000 concerns rearview-camera software that may prevent the camera image from displaying correctly, with a software update as the remedy. Campaign 26V125000 applies to certain 2019 Audi A6 vehicles previously repaired under campaign 25V900000 and concerns possible deactivation of the lane-departure warning system; another software update is required. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Audi or NHTSA, particularly because the available findings show deployed airbags and extensive front-end damage.
