2020 DODGE CHALLENGER GT

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the available photos. The front of the vehicle has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crushed, buckled, and creased across the front and center, with a large opening and displaced edges. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, with detached pieces visible in front of and beneath the vehicle. Both front headlamp assemblies are absent from their normal mounting positions. The front corner body panels and fender areas are sharply creased, torn, and displaced. The radiator and condenser area is exposed and severely damaged, with bent fins, displaced components, and broken plastic pieces. Visible upper and lower front support members and mounting areas are bent and displaced. The extent of the visible damage indicates that inspection and possible replacement of additional structural, cooling, electrical, and mounting components will be required before repair costs can be determined. Inside the cabin, the driver steering-wheel airbag, front passenger dashboard airbag, and a passenger-side curtain airbag are deployed. The lower dashboard and driver footwell contain broken and displaced trim, loose components, and exposed wiring. Multiple detached interior trim pieces and other loose components are piled across the rear seats. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Dodge Challenger GT with rear-wheel drive, a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 rated at 305 horsepower, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at Brampton Assembly in Canada. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this make, model, and year: campaign 21V516000, concerning potentially improper windshield bonding. A windshield that separates during a crash may increase the risk of injury. The stated remedy is replacement of the front windshield urethane sealant by an authorized dealer at no charge. The available information does not confirm whether this recall has been completed on this vehicle.
