2022 DODGE CHARGER SCAT PACK

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) and identifies the primary damage as side damage. Stage 1’s photo review found visible evidence supporting the side-damage classification, including extensive deformation and paint abrasion on the left front door, left front fender, and lower left-side structure. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photographs. The left front door outer panel has severe deep creasing and crushed areas across the middle and lower sections, with multiple areas of scraped and transferred paint. The rear portion of the left front fender, next to the door and wheel opening, is moderately creased and deformed. The left rocker panel and lower side skirt also show moderate deformation, scraped paint, and irregular panel surfaces. Light scuffing is visible on the lower left corner of the front bumper. Both left-side airbags shown in the findings have deployed. A side-curtain airbag is hanging from the roof area along the left rear side window, and the left front seat’s side airbag has deployed, leaving exposed fabric and opened seat-side trim. The restraint system, related interior trim, wiring, sensors, and surrounding structural areas should be professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as required. The visible damage also warrants checking the door, fender, rocker structure, suspension, wheel alignment, and other components behind the damaged panels. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Dodge Charger Scat Pack sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 6.4-liter gasoline V8 rated at 485 hp, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recalls 22V504000 and 22V808000 concern TPMS sensor batteries that may fail prematurely, preventing low-tire-pressure warnings; 22V808000 is identified as an expansion of the earlier recall. Recall 22V866000 concerns a shifter assembly that may not properly engage Drive and may result in a sudden loss of drive power. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Dodge dealer, particularly after the collision repairs. A thorough mechanical, structural, airbag, and electronic-systems inspection is recommended before purchase.
