2021 DODGE DURANGO GT RWD

The auction record lists a salvage certificate with damage exceeding 75% and identifies the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification, based on the extensive rear-quarter and rear-bumper damage. However, the photographs cannot verify whether the total damage exceeds 75% of the vehicle’s value. The rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are severely crushed and torn, with open body sections around the wheel arch and behind the fuel-door area. Inner bodywork and suspension components are exposed. The rear wheel and tire assembly is missing, and additional underbody and suspension damage should be checked during a physical inspection. The rear bumper cover is missing, while the bumper assembly is detached and hanging outward with displaced plastic sections and exposed reinforcement and mounting components. One rear lamp assembly and the rear wheel-arch trim are also missing. Several light surface scuffs are visible on the left rear door and lower side panels. Inside, the front center armrest covering is split and peeling over a broad area. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, electrical systems, airbag system, alignment, suspension, fuel system, or structural components beyond the visible rear-area damage. Comprehensive mechanical, structural, and safety-system inspections will be necessary before repair or purchase decisions are made. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Dodge Durango GT SUV, built in the United States. It is specified with rear-wheel drive or 4x2 drive, a gasoline 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is listed as having three seating rows and seating for seven occupants. NHTSA records identify recalls associated with this make, model, and year involving the rear spoiler (21V842000 and expanded campaign 23V115000), side-curtain airbag fasteners (21V280000), ABS control-module software and ESC warning-light operation (22V140000), the steering rack assembly (22V154000), the EGR valve on 3.6-liter-equipped vehicles (22V284000), and radio software that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying (24V436000). Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Dodge or an authorized dealer.
