2021 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-FLOOD SALVAGE” with “WATER/FLOOD” as the primary damage classification. However, Stage 1’s photo review found that the flood/water claim is not supported by the available photos: the exterior panels, lower doors, and rocker areas show no visible horizontal tide line or waterline staining, and the interior and illuminated instrument cluster show no visible mud, silt, mold, corrosion, or water-related staining. The instrument cluster display appears illuminated and functioning normally in the photo. These observations do not replace a physical inspection for concealed water or mechanical damage. No separate damage findings were provided in the supplied data. The VIN decodes this vehicle 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 is identified as a five-passenger, four-door vehicle manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. The decoded equipment data also lists 20-inch wheels, LED low-beam headlights, rear visibility equipment, and standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, and keyless ignition. Some driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and rear cross-traffic alert, are listed as optional rather than confirmed installed equipment. Two NHTSA safety recalls are associated with this model and year. Recall 21V516000 concerns possible improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach in a crash; the stated remedy is replacement of the windshield urethane sealant. Recall 24V198000 concerns potential rupture of the left and right side-curtain air-bag inflators; the stated remedy is replacement of both side-curtain air bags. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified through an authorized Dodge/Stellantis dealer using the VIN.
