2021 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The vehicle is a 2021 Dodge Charger R/T with a reported salvage title and an auction-listed primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visibly deformed hood and scraped front bumper support the unverified FRONT END damage claim; the SALVAGE TITLE status cannot be confirmed from the available exterior and interior photographs. The front hood is severely deformed: its leading edge is bowed upward, with an irregular open gap across the front, and it does not sit flush with the front fascia. The front bumper cover has extensive moderate scuffing and abrasion across the upper and center sections, with multiple scrape marks and disturbed surface finish. Both the driver and passenger airbags are visibly deployed. The instrument panel also displays an airbag service warning. This indicates that the restraint system requires comprehensive diagnostic inspection and repair, including verification of the airbags, related sensors, pretensioners, control modules, wiring, and any collision-related structural components. The vehicle should not be considered ready for normal road use without proper repair and inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a rear-wheel-drive sedan with a 5.7-liter gasoline V8, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a five-seat configuration. It was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at Brampton Assembly in Canada. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 21V516000 concerns possible improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach during a crash. Recall 24V198000 concerns potential rupture of the left and right side-curtain airbag inflators. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized dealer before purchase, particularly given the visible airbag deployment.
