2017 DODGE CHARGER SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage claim: substantial denting, creasing, and paint scuffing are present on the left front fender and left front door. The salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The left front fender has sharp creasing and deformation around the rear wheel opening and the area next to the front door. The paint is scraped and scuffed across the fender and along the adjoining front-door edge. The left front door has a large irregular dent with multiple horizontal creases across its middle and lower sections, accompanied by extensive scuffing and scraped paint. Minor chips and surface scratches are also visible on the hood and upper left front fender. The instrument cluster displays “Service Airbag System” along with an illuminated airbag warning symbol. The airbag and restraint systems require diagnostic inspection and should be repaired and verified before the vehicle is considered safe for normal use. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Dodge Charger SE sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 engine, and seating for five. It was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. NHTSA records list recall campaign 18V332000 for certain 2014–2018 Dodge Charger vehicles. This recall concerns a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging and calls for a software update. The vehicle should not be operated using cruise control until recall completion is verified. Additional Charger recalls listed for this model year are limited to specific configurations, including all-wheel-drive vehicles, pursuit vehicles with all-wheel drive and V8 engines, and Hellcat-equipped vehicles; their applicability to this rear-wheel-drive 3.6-liter vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with a Dodge dealer.
