2015 AUDI A6

This 2015 Audi A6 is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title and an unverified auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end bumper damage supports the auction’s FRONT END code; however, the salvage-certificate status could not be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper assembly has severe damage. A substantial section of the bumper cover is missing or torn away, with jagged edges and exposed inner components. The front bumper corner also has broken and missing material, including an irregular opening around the headlamp and lower grille area. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and an additional airbag in the lower driver-side dashboard or footwell area are visibly deployed. Airbag-system components, seat-belt pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and related restraint-system modules will require thorough inspection and likely replacement. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, braking system, or vehicle structure. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a German-built 2015 Audi A6 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.967-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, and an automatic transmission. NHTSA records list several recalls for this model year. Recalls 18V862000, involving the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, and 18V370000, involving the passenger-occupant detection system on vehicles with basic seats, may be relevant and should be checked by VIN for completion. Recalls 17V002000 and 18V229000 concern the electric coolant pump on vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engines; the decoded vehicle is listed with a 2.967-liter diesel engine, so applicability should be confirmed with Audi. Recall completion status is not provided. A professional structural, mechanical, and restraint-system inspection is strongly recommended before purchase.
