2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

This 2016 Jeep Cherokee is listed with an auction primary-damage code of SIDE and an auction condition of SALVAGE CERTIFICATE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE code because substantial damage is visible on the vehicle side; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The most significant visible damage affects the front side. The front door has extensive, deep dents, creases, and irregular deformation across the outer panel. The adjacent front fender is severely crushed around the door seam and wheel opening, with uneven contours and exposed attachment points. The exterior mirror housing is damaged, and its white outer cover is not visibly intact. Sections of the black wheel-arch trim are missing, leaving attachment holes visible along the fender edge. The lower front bumper and black lower valance are separated and deformed, with an uneven opening at the front corner and displaced trim. The front bumper cover also has multiple dark scuff marks, abrasions, and scratches. The findings are limited to visible exterior damage. A physical inspection is recommended to check the door, fender, mirror, bumper mounting points, wheel-arch area, adjacent structural components, steering and suspension, wiring, and safety systems before purchase or repair planning. Recall records provided for the 2016 Jeep Cherokee include campaigns concerning cruise-control disengagement caused by an electrical wiring fault; possible water intrusion and fire risk involving the power liftgate module on vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, including superseding recall 23V338000; power-transfer-unit damage that may cause loss of drive or the Park function; potentially defective right or left halfshafts on specific production ranges; and improperly tightened seat fasteners on specific production ranges. A separate equipment recall concerns certain Kidde fire extinguishers. Recall applicability depends on the vehicle’s equipment and production details, and completion of the repairs is not established by the information provided. Recall status should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
