2023 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The auction record lists the vehicle with a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition designation and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage claim, based on extensive damage at the front-left corner. The certificate-of-title designation is an administrative classification and cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The 2023 Dodge Charger R/T has severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left side. The front-left corner, fender, wheel opening, hood, bumper cover, grille, and lower fascia are extensively crushed, torn, displaced, or missing, with internal components exposed. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent or heavily damaged. No wheel or tire is installed at the front-left position, leaving the brake rotor and other wheel-end components exposed. Body metal around the front-left engine-bay perimeter is also visibly folded and displaced. The left front door has a broad moderate dent and crease. The windshield has extensive branching cracks and multiple fracture lines. Driver, passenger, and side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed. A minor white paint scuff is present on the left rear bumper corner. Based on the VIN decode, this is a rear-wheel-drive, four-door sedan built in Canada, equipped with a 5.7-liter gasoline V8 engine rated at 370 horsepower. The decoded safety equipment includes front airbags, side airbags for all seating rows, curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and a rear-visibility system. NHTSA records list two recalls for this 2023 Dodge Charger: recall 24V112000 concerns an improperly adjusted parking brake that could allow the vehicle to roll away; the remedy is dealer adjustment of the parking brake. Recall 24V574000 concerns the left rear seat-back latch, which may not lock in the upright position; the remedy is inspection and adjustment of the latch striker as necessary. The available information does not establish whether either remedy has been completed. The visible damage is severe and would require comprehensive structural, body, lighting, glass, restraint-system, wheel-end, and mechanical inspection before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. No conclusion about the engine, transmission, suspension, frame alignment, or other concealed components can be made from the supplied findings.
