2024 AUDI Q4 E-TRON

The vehicle is listed with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and **FRONT END** as the auction’s primary damage classification. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end deformation and missing or displaced components support the unverified FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle shows severe collision damage concentrated across the entire front end. The hood is heavily crushed and folded, while the front bumper, grille-related trim, headlamp assemblies, and other front fascia components are missing or displaced. The lower front structure, brackets, plastic supports, and radiator area are visibly exposed and deformed. Both front corners are incomplete, with damage to the front-left fender and wheel-arch area, torn or displaced liner material, loose wiring, and exposed internal components. The front-right corner also has displaced bumper and liner material. The windshield has multiple branching cracks in its upper-left area. The driver steering-wheel airbag, front passenger dashboard airbag, and side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed, with airbag fabric hanging from both upper side areas of the cabin. Replacement of the affected restraint-system components and inspection of related systems would be required, although the full extent of damage cannot be determined from the provided findings. The instrument cluster displays, “Drive system: malfunction! Safely stop vehicle,” together with multiple warning indicators. This confirms a drive-system fault indication but does not establish the underlying cause or identify a failed component. The warning should be treated as a significant electric drive-system concern requiring diagnostic testing. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron. Recall 23V842000 concerns the 220V/240V compact charging cable, which may overheat when used at a 100% charge setting; the remedy is a replacement cable with a temperature sensor, and owners were advised to use the 110V cable or public charging stations until repaired. Recall 24V361000 concerns incorrect headlight-control-module software that may affect parking-light operation; the remedy is a free software update. Recall 25V125000 concerns an onboard charger that may stop charging the 12-volt battery and result in a loss of drive power; the remedy is replacement of the onboard charger. Recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided. Overall, the findings indicate extensive front-end collision damage, deployed airbags, a cracked windshield, exposed and deformed front-end structures, and an active drive-system malfunction warning. A comprehensive physical inspection and electronic diagnostic assessment would be necessary to determine the full repair requirements and whether the vehicle can be safely returned to service.
