2023 DODGE DURANGO SXT

The vehicle is listed by the auction as a **CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE VEHICLE**, with **SIDE** recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification: extensive deformation, scraping, broken glass, and deployed side-curtain airbags are visible along the vehicle’s side. Stage 1 also notes that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The visible damage is concentrated on the left side and passenger-compartment safety systems. Both the left front and left rear doors have severe dents, sharp creases, paint loss, and scraping. The left rocker panel and lower side trim are crushed and heavily scraped. The left rear quarter panel is dented and deformed around the fuel-door and wheel-arch areas, with additional scraped paint and exposed damaged material. The left exterior mirror is broken, with irregular components exposed. A detached metal component shown separately from the vehicle is bent, crushed, and torn in multiple areas; its exact original location cannot be confirmed from the available findings. Multiple airbags have deployed. Curtain-airbag fabric is hanging from the left roof area above both the front cabin and rear seating area. The front passenger seat’s outer bolster is opened and torn, with the deployed seat-mounted airbag protruding from it. These findings indicate that the restraint-system components will require inspection and likely replacement, along with diagnostic checks of the related safety systems. The windshield is extensively shattered, with dense spiderweb, radial, and branching cracks across most of the visible glass. The left front door window is also fractured, with missing glass along the upper and forward portions. The front bumper cover has surface scratches, and a section of the left lower bumper trim is separated and hanging downward. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Dodge Durango SXT, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 engine and six cylinders. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in the United States. The decoded VIN is 1C4RDJAG7PC564864. One NHTSA recall, campaign **23V640000**, concerns certain 2023 Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicles equipped with an instrument-panel-mounted shifter. The recall involves possible shifter-boot interference that may allow the vehicle to come out of gear and cause a sudden loss of drive power. The decoded vehicle is identified as an SXT rather than a Pursuit, so recall applicability should be verified directly by VIN and equipment configuration. The recall remedy is replacement of the shifter boot by an authorized dealer, if applicable.
