2021 DODGE DURANGO GT AWD

The auction record lists the vehicle as “PERMIT SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified FRONT END claim, based on extensive crushing and missing or displaced front-end components. The PERMIT SALVAGE title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photos. The 2021 Dodge Durango has severe damage concentrated across the front end. The hood is extensively crushed, buckled, deeply creased, and torn across much of its visible width. The front bumper cover, grille, and associated fascia components are missing or detached, with loose plastic pieces hanging from the vehicle and lying on the ground. The radiator and condenser area is exposed, while brackets, wiring, supports, and other front-end components are visibly broken, displaced, or hanging. The lower front support and crossmember areas appear bent and uneven, with displaced attachment points and irregularly positioned metal components. The front passenger-side wheel-arch and fender area also has missing or detached trim and exposed inner components. Both headlamp areas remain visible, but their surrounding mounts, trim, and adjacent fascia are damaged or displaced. These findings indicate that the front structural and cooling-support areas require thorough physical inspection; damage hidden behind the visible components cannot be assessed from the provided findings. Multiple restraint systems have deployed. The steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed, and additional airbag fabric is visible below the driver-side dashboard and along the driver-side roof edge and A-pillar area. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without inspection and repair of the body structure, cooling system, lighting, wiring, restraint systems, and related safety systems. A complete scan for diagnostic faults and verification of frame alignment, steering, suspension, and mechanical operation are also recommended. The VIN identifies a GT-trim Dodge Durango SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in the United States. NHTSA records list recalls concerning the side-curtain-airbag fastener, ABS/ESC software, steering rack, 3.6-liter engine EGR valve, rear spoiler alignment, and rearview-camera software; two records concern the rear spoiler, with the later recall identified as an expansion. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Dodge dealer before purchase.
