2021 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front bumper cover and fascia have severe damage, including extensive cracking, tearing, deformation, broken trim, and a displaced front corner. Internal components and wiring are exposed. The grille and one headlamp opening are damaged, and the headlamp assembly is absent. The removed headlamp assembly itself has a damaged housing, heavily scratched or cracked lens surfaces, and an open inner circular section with internal components missing. Several lengths of wiring are exposed and hanging from the front bumper area. The front corner of the hood is moderately deformed, with a raised and irregular edge. At the rear, the right quarter panel has extensive denting, sharp creases, scraped paint, and surface deformation, with lighter-colored material exposed in places. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the circular filler opening exposed. The right rear bumper corner has scraping, torn surface material, and exposed orange-colored material. The lower rear bumper cover has extensive abrasion, and part of the lower trim appears to be separated from the bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T with rear-wheel drive, a 5.7-liter gasoline V8 engine rated at 375 horsepower, and 20-inch wheels. It was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 21V664000 concerns instrument-cluster safety-system indicators that may not illuminate sufficiently; the remedy is instrument-cluster software reprogramming. Recall 21V516000 concerns possible improper windshield bonding; the remedy is replacement of the windshield sealant. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized dealer. The visible damage warrants a comprehensive inspection of the front structure, lighting, wiring, restraint and safety systems, cooling components, suspension, alignment, fuel-filler area, and rear body structure before purchase.
