2023 AUDI Q4 E-TRON

The 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is listed by the auction with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” designation and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. The auction’s salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs, although the visible damage is consistent with the stated rear-end claim. The rear liftgate has moderate deformation across the lower section beneath the rear glass, including the center, left, and right areas. Visible dents, creases, and an uneven surface are present around the emblem, license-plate recess, and rear-lamp region. The lower-left rear bumper cover has moderate cracking, torn edges, separated material, and an irregular opening or gap. Stage 1 assessed that the visible liftgate deformation and bumper-area cracking support the stated REAR END primary-damage claim. The findings do not include any reported mechanical, electrical, or interior damage. A physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed damage, alignment, the liftgate structure and hinges, bumper components, rear lighting, sensors, and the vehicle’s high-voltage system before purchase or repair decisions. Official recalls listed for this vehicle range include: - Recall 23V189000: The head-curtain air bag may be torn by exposed metal within the door seal during deployment. The remedy is installation of protective cloth tape in the driver- and front-passenger-side B-pillar areas. - Recall 23V842000: Use of the 220V/240V compact charging cable at a 100% charge setting may overheat some outlets or the cable. The remedy is a replacement charging cable with a temperature sensor; the specified interim guidance is to use the 110V cable or public charging stations. - Recall 24V361000: Incorrect headlight-control-module software may affect parking-light operation under certain conditions. The remedy is a software update. - Recall 25V120000: The instrument panel may not properly display the selected gear position. The remedy is a brake-control-unit software update. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the vehicle identification number before delivery or operation.
