2022 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T SCAT PACK

The auction record lists this 2022 Dodge Challenger as having a salvage certificate of title, with “REAR END” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe rear bumper and rear-quarter damage supports the stated rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The left rear quarter panel is extensively crushed around the fuel door, tail-lamp surround, and rear wheel arch. The panel has deep creases, abrasions, and displaced surfaces. The rear bumper cover is severely damaged, with cracks, deep scraping, distorted edges, and broken or separated mounting areas. It is substantially detached from the body and hanging downward, leaving a large opening that exposes the rear bumper reinforcement and other underlying components. The extent of the visible damage suggests that the rear structure, mounting points, lighting components, and related systems should be inspected during repairs. The instrument cluster displays “Service Antilock Brake System,” along with an illuminated ABS warning indicator. Traction-control and tire-pressure warning indicators are also illuminated. The underlying causes and whether these systems are operational cannot be determined from the findings alone. NHTSA decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2022 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack with rear-wheel drive, a 6.4-liter gasoline V8 engine rated at 485 horsepower, and a two-door passenger-car body configuration. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year: campaigns 22V504000 and 22V808000. Both concern TPMS sensor batteries that may fail prematurely, causing the tire-pressure sensors to become inoperative and potentially masking a low-tire-pressure condition. The repair involves dealer inspection and replacement of the affected sensors as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase.
