2017 AUDI S8 quattro Plus

This 2017 Audi S8 is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. The visible broken and missing material at the front bumper supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper’s lower left corner has severe damage, including a large irregular break, an open section, and exposed internal mounting areas or components. The lower bumper insert or trim is missing, leaving an open cavity. Multiple dark scuff and scratch marks are also visible across the left bumper corner and adjacent fascia. The provided findings are limited to the front bumper area and do not establish the condition of other body, structural, mechanical, or safety-system components. A yellow check-engine warning indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. The underlying cause cannot be determined from the available photographs and should be diagnosed before purchase or operation. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a left-hand-drive Audi S8 sedan manufactured by Audi Sport GmbH in Germany. It is equipped with a 4.0-liter gasoline V8 engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 20V397000 concerns the engine-compartment seal, which may loosen and contact hot engine components, increasing the risk of fire; the specified remedy is installation of a retaining plate. Recall 22V178000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply strainer that may become blocked, potentially causing turbocharger bearing wear, engine stalling, and an increased crash risk; the specified remedy is replacement of the oil strainer and an oil change. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
