2021 DODGE DURANGO GT

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a Certificate of Destruction and lists SIDE as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the SIDE classification, based on substantial deformation of the left rear door and quarter panel. The Certificate of Destruction status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. The main damage is concentrated on the left rear side. The left rear door has severe inward deformation, multiple deep creases across the lower and middle sections, and disturbed paint. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are also severely creased and deformed, with an irregular surface and visible separation where the rear bumper attaches. The left rear bumper cover is pulled outward from the body, leaving a large gap and separating the corner from its normal position. The left rear wheel-arch molding is missing, exposing mounting holes and an unfinished panel edge. Inside, the center-console armrest has moderate cosmetic deterioration, including extensive cracking, peeling, and loss of its outer surface finish. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, suspension, wheel alignment, safety systems, or any hidden structural damage. A comprehensive physical inspection and repair estimate are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Dodge Durango GT SUV, built in the United States by FCA US LLC. It is equipped with a 3.6-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. The vehicle is listed with three rows and seating for seven.

Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Dodge dealer.
