2021 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title and lists rear-end damage as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end damage supports the stated rear-end claim. The salvage-certificate status itself could not be confirmed from the photographs. The documented damage includes moderate deformation of the rear trunk lid, with a broad inward crease and multiple distortions across the central and lower areas. The rear bumper cover has severe deformation across the center and left side, with pronounced creasing and irregular contours. The lower center section of the rear bumper has broken edges and missing portions of the lower trim or insert. Light-colored scuffing and surface abrasions are also present on the deformed bumper cover. The left front door window has multiple intersecting crack lines across the glass, indicating moderate damage. The findings provided do not document the condition of the vehicle’s underlying structure, rear body components, lighting, exhaust, suspension, drivetrain, airbag system, or other mechanical systems. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks for hidden rear-impact damage, proper trunk and bumper fitment, glass replacement, and the operation of safety systems. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Dodge Charger R/T sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 5.7-liter gasoline V8 rated at 370 horsepower, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It has five seats and was manufactured by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 21V516000 concerns improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach in a crash; the remedy is replacement of the windshield urethane sealant. Recall 24V198000 concerns potential rupture of the left and right side-curtain air-bag inflators; the remedy is replacement of both side-curtain air bags. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Dodge dealer.
