2021 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a Certificate of Salvage title and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible left-side collision damage and deployed airbags support the SIDE primary-damage code; however, the certificate-of-salvage title status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photos. The most significant visible damage is concentrated on the left front side. The left front wheel and tire assembly are missing, leaving the brake and wheel-well area exposed. The left front fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel opening, with the wheel-opening area displaced and inner wheel-well components visible. The lower left front door and adjacent rocker-panel area have pronounced dents, creases, and disrupted contours. The left front door skin also has a large irregular dent extending across its lower and forward sections. Both the driver steering-wheel airbag and the driver knee airbag are visibly deployed. The extent of damage to the suspension, steering, braking system, wheel-well components, unibody structure, and related safety systems cannot be determined from the provided findings and requires a thorough physical inspection. Minor cosmetic damage is also reported on the lower rear bumper, left of center, and along the lower front bumper lip, where scraping and paint loss are visible. The instrument cluster reportedly displays the message, “Service Transmission Set Park Brake to Prevent Rolling,” together with multiple illuminated warning indicators. This is a visible warning condition; the underlying transmission or electronic park-brake fault cannot be diagnosed from the available findings and should be investigated before purchase or operation. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Dodge Charger R/T sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 5.7-liter gasoline V8, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is listed with 20-inch wheels and was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. NHTSA records identify two applicable safety recalls: recall 21V516000 concerning possible improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach in a crash, and recall 24V198000 concerning possible rupture of the left and right side-curtain airbag inflators. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with an authorized Dodge dealer using the VIN.
