2017 DODGE DURANGO Citadel

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Certificate of Title” and identifies the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim; however, the certificate-of-title status cannot be verified from the provided photos. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The left front fender is severely deformed, with torn edges, extensive paint loss, and exposed components around the wheel opening. The left front bumper corner is severely deformed and displaced from the adjacent body panels, with large gaps, broken or separated edges, and exposed internal components. A detached bumper-cover component with grille and mounting openings is also shown lying on the ground. The left front edge of the hood has a moderate deformation, with an uneven contour and an irregular gap next to the damaged fender and headlamp area. The visible condition indicates that substantial front-end repair will be required. A physical inspection should assess the mounting points, lighting and wiring, front structural components, cooling-area components, wheel-area components, and any related safety systems before purchase. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of these areas. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Dodge Durango Citadel SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 5.7-liter V8 engine, and seating for seven. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in the United States. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging under certain short-circuit conditions. Recall 17V541000 concerns potentially short rear axle halfshafts that could disengage from the differential and cause a loss of drive. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Dodge dealer.
