2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2017 Audi Q5 is listed at auction with the condition designation “GRAVEMENT ACCIDENTE” and a primary damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible extensive left-side collision damage and deployed side-curtain airbags support both the SIDE code and the serious-accident condition designation. The most significant damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front door has severe inward deformation, sharp creasing, and extensive distortion across the middle and lower outer sheet metal. The left rear door has a large irregular dent with multiple creases. The rocker panel below the left-side doors is severely crushed and heavily creased, with deformation extending along the lower door area. The rear portion of the left front fender is also dented and creased near the front door seam. Side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed on both sides of the vehicle. White airbag fabric is hanging from the left roof rail above the rear passenger area and from the right roof rail above the front passenger area. The restraint-system damage will require a complete diagnostic inspection and appropriate replacement and reset work before the vehicle can be considered safe for road use. The structural condition of the rocker area, door openings, pillars, floor, suspension, and related safety systems should also be physically inspected. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline 2.0T engine, and an automatic transmission. It is classified as a sport utility vehicle and was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. The VIN is WA1M2AFP9HA024738. The supplied recall records include several campaigns applicable to 2017 Audi Q5 vehicles. Recall 17V001000 concerns possible corrosion of the side-head-airbag inflator caused by sunroof drainage; recall 17V002000 concerns an electric coolant pump that may overheat; recall 18V229000 concerns replacement of that coolant pump because of blockage or moisture-related short-circuiting; recall 17V297000 concerns a gearbox defect that may allow the vehicle to roll despite being placed in Park; and recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak fuel. Completion of these recalls should be confirmed for this specific VIN, particularly because the vehicle has deployed side-curtain airbags and substantial side-impact damage.
