2018 DODGE CHARGER SRT 392

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage certificate with “VANDALISM” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the available photos do not clearly support vandalism as the primary damage. They show minor rear-bumper scuffing and an interior area with missing trim and exposed wiring, but the cause cannot be determined from the photos. The salvage-certificate status also cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The identified exterior damage consists of light-colored linear scuff marks and surface abrasion across the rear bumper and around the license-plate recess. This is classified as minor cosmetic damage. Inside the vehicle, the black center armrest covering is split and frayed along the upper stitching. The lower driver-side dashboard and steering-column trim panels are missing, leaving wiring and internal components exposed beneath the steering wheel. This is classified as moderate damage. The available findings do not establish whether the missing trim resulted from vandalism, collision damage, repair work, or another cause. The exposed wiring and components should be inspected before purchase, along with the steering-column area, airbag system, electrical systems, and all related controls. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Dodge Charger SRT 392 sedan built by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. It is equipped with a 6.4-liter gasoline V8 engine rated at 485 horsepower, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. The vehicle has four doors, five seats, left-hand drive, and 20-inch wheels. Official NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for the 2018 Dodge Charger. These include recalls involving the automatic-transmission park-lock rod, wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging, a powertrain-control-module voltage-regulator failure that could cause a stall or no-start condition, and side-curtain-airbag inflators that may rupture. A separate backup-camera recall applies to certain Charger Pursuit vehicles equipped with stealth mode, while a front-driveshaft recall applies to certain all-wheel-drive V8 Charger Pursuit vehicles. The VIN decodes as rear-wheel drive, but exact recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed with an authorized Dodge dealer using the VIN.
