2021 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T SCAT PACK

The auction record lists this 2021 Dodge Challenger as having a salvage certificate with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END code. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front end has extensive, severe collision damage. The hood is raised with a large uneven front gap and pronounced creasing, particularly on the left side. The hood edge and adjacent upper panels are buckled, torn, and irregularly deformed. The front bumper cover, grille, and fascia are missing from the vehicle, exposing the radiator, wiring, bumper reinforcement area, and other internal components. Multiple lower front-end parts are detached or hanging, while the removed red bumper cover and wheel-arch trim are lying on the ground; the bumper cover has extensive scuffing, deformation, and separated sections. The front fender and wheel-arch area are crushed, sharply creased, and torn, with the wheel well and internal components exposed. A headlamp assembly is missing, and the front lighting openings are damaged; one round lamp is displaced from its mounting position. The driver’s steering-wheel frontal airbag is deployed. The outer side bolster of a front seat also has a long tear exposing light-colored internal material. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, rear-wheel-drive 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack with a 6.4-litre gasoline V8 rated at 485 horsepower. It was built by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. The decode identifies a two-door passenger car with two seating rows and 20-inch front and rear wheels. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and 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 urethane sealant. The completion status of these recalls is not provided. The documented damage is substantial and concentrated at the front of the vehicle, with deployed safety equipment and exposed or missing structural and electrical components. A complete physical inspection will be required to assess the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, wiring, restraint systems, and drivetrain before repair or road use.
