2019 AUDI RS5 quattro

The 2019 Audi RS 5 is listed with an MV-907A salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible hood, bumper, grille, headlamp-area, and front-corner damage supports the stated FRONT END claim. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The vehicle has severe front-end collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, with multiple deep creases and a collapsed central/front section. The front bumper and adjacent fascia are broken and torn at the front-left corner, with large open gaps and internal components exposed. The upper grille is broken and displaced, and the front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring and mounting components visible. Lower front-left intake trim is also broken or missing. The front-left fender and surrounding fascia contain torn and broken sections, and the overall front-left front-end area is extensively open. The driver, front passenger, and curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays an engine warning indicator, a general warning triangle, and an airbag warning indicator; it also states that Audi pre sense is currently limited. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, and diagnostic inspection, followed by appropriate repairs and calibration. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as an Audi Sport GmbH 2019 RS 5 Sportback/quattro with a 2.9-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The plant country is Germany. NHTSA records list four applicable recall campaigns: 22V034000 and 21V295000 concerning rear-axle alignment and trailing-arm lock nuts; 20V760000 concerning the 12-volt battery positive-terminal cover on certain RS5 Coupe vehicles; and 21V874000 concerning the passenger-occupant detection system and potential passenger-airbag deactivation. The available information does not confirm whether any of these recalls have been completed on this vehicle.
