2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the auction’s front-end damage classification: extensive front-end components are missing, and internal parts are exposed. However, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The front bumper cover and lower front fascia are missing, exposing the metal reinforcement bar, cooling components, wiring, and other internal structures. Both front headlamp assemblies are absent, with their mounting areas and wiring exposed. The forward section of one front fender is missing, leaving the inner fender area visible. The hood has raised and creased deformation at the front corners, with distortion along the adjacent edges. The wheel-arch liner and lower front plastic components on the affected side are torn, displaced, and hanging below the vehicle. Additional removed exterior and underbody pieces, including a bumper cover, a red exterior panel, black wheel-arch trim, and broken plastic parts, are shown separately on the ground. The findings document substantial collision damage to the front bodywork and do not provide an assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, restraint, cooling, steering, or suspension systems. These areas should be physically inspected and tested before purchase, along with the exposed wiring and internal mounting structures. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. Recall 20V343000 and expanded recalls 23V302000 and 25V011000 concern the power transfer unit, which may cause loss of drive power and/or loss of the Park function; the listed remedies include software updates and, where necessary, PTU replacement. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; the remedy is a software update, and cruise control should not be used until the repair is completed. Recall 17V543000 concerns missing tire-and-rim information on the certification label, with a corrected label provided as the remedy. Recall 16V799000 applies to certain vehicles manufactured from October 13 through October 17, 2016, and concerns the driver’s knee air-bag inflator; the remedy is replacement of the knee air-bag module. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
