2016 DODGE DURANGO Citadel

The auction records list the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” status, with “REAR END” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible dents in the rear liftgate and scuffing on the rear bumper support the stated rear-end damage code. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The most significant visible damage is moderate denting and uneven creasing in the liftgate sheet metal around the license-plate recess, particularly along the right side and lower edge. The rear bumper cover has minor dark scuff marks and paint abrasions across the left side and lower central area. A narrow minor abrasion is also visible on the front bumper below and behind the right headlamp. The interior shows normal-use-related cosmetic wear. The steering-wheel rim has glossy wear and surface discoloration along the gripping areas. The visible leather front-seat cushions and bolsters show creasing, gloss variation, and localized discoloration, but no tears or missing material are reported. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Dodge Durango Citadel SUV with left-hand drive, 4x2 drivetrain, and a gasoline 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine rated at 295 horsepower. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in Detroit, United States. The VIN decoded cleanly, including a valid check digit. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to certain vehicles of this make, model, and year. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; the remedy involves a software update. Recall 16V814000 concerns a possible fuel-rail crossover-tube leak on certain 3.6-liter vehicles built within the specified production period. Recall 16V168000 concerns a potentially cracking left-front brake caliper on vehicles built within its specified production period. The vehicle’s individual recall completion status is not provided, so these items should be verified by VIN with a Dodge dealer or NHTSA before purchase.
