2020 INFINITI QX50

The 2020 INFINITI QX50 is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary damage classification. The visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be verified from the available photos. The front end has severe damage on both sides. The left front fender is heavily crushed and torn around the wheel opening, with extensive paint scraping and exposed inner components. The hood is creased and deformed along its front edge and left-front corner. The front bumper cover, center grille, surrounding fascia, and lower bumper components are missing, exposing the radiator area, cooling components, mounting hardware, and other internal front-end parts. Both headlamp assemblies are missing. The left and right headlamp mounting areas, wiring, and surrounding components are exposed. The right front corner also has missing body and bumper pieces, exposed mounting structures, and loose or dangling components near the lower front edge. Based on the VIN decode, this vehicle is a gasoline-powered 2.0-liter, four-wheel-drive crossover utility vehicle manufactured by Nissan North America at the COMPAS plant in Mexico. The available decode does not provide the engine model, transmission type, or trim level. NHTSA records list a 2021 recall for certain 2020 INFINITI QX50 vehicles concerning an illegible tire and loading information placard, which could result in incorrect tire sizing or overloading. A further 2025 recall covers certain 2019–2022 INFINITI QX50 vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine; defective engine bearings may lead to engine failure and, in some cases, an engine-block breach and oil-related fire risk. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with an INFINITI dealer. The extent of the visible collision damage indicates that the vehicle requires substantial front-end repair. The condition of the cooling system, structural components, wiring, lighting systems, safety systems, drivetrain, and engine cannot be determined from these findings and should be physically inspected before purchase.
