2017 AUDI Q7 quattro Premium Plus

The 2017 Audi Q7 is listed by the auction with a salvage title designation and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage at the front-left end supports the auction’s front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front-left corner has severe collision damage. The left front bumper cover and adjacent fascia are missing or broken away, exposing underlying components and leaving loose material. The left front fender is heavily crushed around the wheel arch, with torn edges and exposed inner wheel-well components. The hood is creased and deformed along its left front edge above and behind the headlamp. The wheel-well liner and additional fascia pieces are detached and hanging around the left front wheel. A separate dark-blue exterior panel is lying on the ground with torn mounting points, broken edges, and extensive scuffing. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the side-curtain airbags have deployed along the roof-side areas beside the front seating positions. Airbag replacement, restraint-system inspection, and evaluation of possible structural, steering, suspension, cooling, lighting, and mechanical damage will be required before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The provided findings do not confirm the condition or operation of components that are not visibly described. NHTSA records list the following recalls for the 2017 Audi Q7: fuel-rail leaks that may increase the risk of fire (19V035000); a possible third-row seat-back movement under load (16V641000); seat-belt pretensioners that may not activate properly (16V955000); possible loss of electric power-steering assist on certain vehicles (16V648000); side-marker lights that may remain inoperative due to software (16V642000); airbag-control-module software that may cause excessive frontal-airbag deployment force (16V519000); and a steering-shaft bolt that may loosen and cause loss of steering control (20V149000). Recall applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
