2021 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

The auction record identifies this 2021 Dodge Challenger as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this damage classification through extensive front-end damage and missing components; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front bumper cover, grille, and central fascia are missing, exposing the radiator area, wiring, and metal support components. The lower front support and crossmember are visibly bent and irregularly shaped. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, with fragmented or incomplete lighting components remaining at the front corners. The front edge and corners of the hood are bent, with irregular gaps above the exposed front-end area. The front-left lower body panel and wheel-opening area are severely broken, with separated pieces and an open, irregular edge. The left rocker-panel trim is torn and partially detached, with a large section hanging outward near the front wheel. The visible front tire is deflated, with a collapsed sidewall and flattened contact area. Light scuffing and scrape marks are also present on the left front door and lower left side. The windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking across the central and upper areas. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag, passenger dashboard airbag, and roof-side curtain airbags are deployed. These findings indicate that substantial collision repair is required, including inspection of the front structure, restraint systems, lighting and wiring, cooling components, wheel and suspension areas, and the vehicle’s electronic systems. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a complete physical inspection and proper repair. According to the VIN decode, this is an R/T Challenger with a 5.7-liter gasoline V8 rated at 375 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, and 20-inch wheels. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this 2021 Dodge Challenger. Recall 21V664000 concerns insufficient illumination of safety-system status indicators in the instrument cluster; the stated remedy is free instrument-cluster reprogramming. Recall 21V516000 concerns windshield bonding that may allow the windshield to detach in a crash; the stated remedy is free replacement of the front windshield urethane sealant. Recall completion status is not provided.
