2021 DODGE CHARGER SRT HELLCAT

The vehicle is a 2021 Dodge Charger with a salvage certificate and an auction-listed primary damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage at the right rear quarter panel and rear bumper supports the unverified rear-end damage claim. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the right rear. The right rear quarter panel has a pronounced dent and creasing immediately forward of the tail lamp and above the bumper junction, with paint scuffing in the affected area. The right rear bumper corner is torn and fractured, with missing material and an open section exposing components behind the cover. Lower rear bumper trim or diffuser material is also missing from the central and right areas, leaving mounting or bumper components exposed. Additional scraping and abrasion are visible across the right side and lower edge of the rear bumper. The hood has multiple moderate depressions and creased areas across the central and front sections, including pronounced deformation near the front edge. The front bumper cover has minor scuffing and abrasion around the lower corner openings. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 6.2-liter gasoline V8 rated at 707 horsepower, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 21V516000 concerns possible improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach in a crash. Recall 24V198000 concerns potential rupture of the left and right side-curtain air-bag inflators, which could cause injury from metal fragments. The completion status of these recalls should be verified with an authorized Dodge dealer using the VIN. Due to the visible rear-end and hood damage, a professional inspection should include the bumper structure and mounting points, rear quarter-panel area, exposed components behind the bumper, hood alignment and latch operation, lighting, sensors, air-bag systems, and wheel-alignment or underbody components.
