2009 AUDI Q7

The vehicle is a 2009 Audi Q7, VIN WA1AY74L89D019583. NHTSA VIN data identifies it as a gasoline-powered SUV with a 3.596-litre six-cylinder engine, manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies FRONT END as the primary damage. The Stage 1 assessment states that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover, center grille, and adjacent front trim are missing, leaving the cooling components, radiator and condenser area, wiring, and other surrounding components exposed. Both headlamp areas are severely damaged: the left side has a broken housing with exposed internal components and no complete lamp assembly, while the right headlamp assembly is absent. The left and right front fenders and wheel-arch areas are torn, deformed, or visibly damaged. The front edge of the hood is irregular and deformed. The exposed front cooling components show apparently bent or distorted cooling fins and surrounding support areas. Broken plastic pieces, loose components, and disconnected-looking wiring are visible around the left and center front structure. The extent of damage to the radiator, condenser, supports, wiring, sensors, and other components should be established through a detailed physical inspection before purchase. Mechanical, structural, alignment, and safety-system damage cannot be confirmed from the supplied findings. The instrument cluster displays an “ESP fault! See owner’s manual” message, together with illuminated airbag, check-engine, and stability-control warning indicators. These are important electronic and safety-system concerns requiring diagnostic scanning and testing. The electronic stability-control fault and multiple illuminated warning indicators should be treated as issues requiring investigation, not merely as cosmetic effects of the front-end damage. NHTSA recall records list three campaigns applicable to this model and year. Recalls 16V660000 and 18V818000 concern the gasoline fuel-pump flange, which may allow fuel leakage and increase fire risk; the later campaign concerns vehicles previously repaired under the earlier recall. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label, which may allow overloading. The completion status of these recalls for this specific vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
