2023 AUDI Q3

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage designation of Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified claim, citing extensive damage to the hood, grille, bumper, and front corner. The front-end damage is severe. The hood is creased and deformed along the front and left edges, with an uneven raised gap above the grille and headlamp area. The front bumper cover is fractured, partially detached, and hanging outward, with multiple broken or missing sections and mounting points. The main grille and surrounding trim are cracked, displaced, and broken. The damaged front corner and lower fascia expose internal components, separated trim, and loose material. The front fender and wheel-arch area are also heavily creased, with displaced or broken wheel-arch liner and adjacent plastic components. Significant damage is visible along the side of the vehicle. Both visible doors have deep dents, long horizontal creases, and scraped areas. The rocker panel and lower sill show extensive deformation, scraping, paint loss, and distorted trim. The visible rear quarter panel and rear wheel-arch edge have moderate dents, creases, and scraped paint. The driver-side airbag is deployed, with white airbag fabric hanging from the roof area and along the side of the front seat. The instrument cluster displays seat-belt, master-warning, engine, and airbag-related warning indicators. These findings indicate that the restraint and warning systems require diagnostic inspection and repair; the operational condition of other mechanical and structural components cannot be determined from the listed findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Audi Q3 S line quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. NHTSA recall campaign 24V251000 applies to certain 2023–2024 Audi Q3 vehicles. It concerns a possible loose electrical connection for the front passenger-seat occupant detection system, which may deactivate the front passenger airbag. The stated remedy is replacement of the passenger-seat occupant detection system control module by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN.
