2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN R/T

The auction record identifies this 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan as “Dealer Only Clean Title” with “MECHANICAL” listed as the primary damage. These are auction designations, not independently verified findings. Stage 1 reports that the clean-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. It also reports that visible side collision damage is present, while the stated mechanical-damage claim requires a physical inspection and cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The main visible damage is concentrated along the lower edge of the sliding door and the adjacent rocker area. This area has severe creasing and irregular deformation, scraped paint, and exposed material. The lower sliding-door and rocker trim is broken and partially missing, with jagged edges and a loose section hanging below the door. A proper inspection is recommended to assess the underlying structure, door operation, rocker condition, and any mechanical or alignment-related issues. Both front headlamp lenses appear yellowed and cloudy. The hood has several small paint chips. Inside, the outer bolster of the front driver’s seat shows surface cracking and abrasion. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T minivan with front-wheel drive, a 3.6-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by FCA Canada at the Windsor Assembly plant in Canada. NHTSA recall records associated with the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan include a possible automatic-transmission pump seizure that may cause loss of hydraulic pressure and motive power; a third-row seatback fastening issue on vehicles built during a specified two-day production period; and a hood-striker bolt issue affecting vehicles built during a specified August 2015 production period. Additional records concern Vantage-modified vehicles with a possible fuel-pump gasket leak, Rollx Vans vehicles equipped with specified wheelchair restraints, and certain Kidde fire extinguishers. Applicability depends on the vehicle’s production date, equipment, and any mobility modifications. The VIN should be checked with an authorized Dodge dealer to confirm recall status and whether all applicable remedies have been completed.
