2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee listed with a salvage certificate and a FRONT END primary-damage designation. The visible front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The right front outer fender is missing, exposing the wheel-arch area and internal components. The remaining metal around the wheel opening has irregular edges and visible creasing. A substantial section of the right front bumper fascia is also missing, with internal brackets and components exposed. On the left side of the front bumper, the fascia is separated from the adjacent bodywork with a pronounced gap, and a black bumper component is displaced below the left front corner. The extent of damage to underlying structural, suspension, steering, lighting, and cooling components cannot be determined from these findings and requires a thorough physical inspection. The vehicle is associated with several reported NHTSA safety recalls. These include recalls concerning the power transfer unit, which may result in loss of drive power or loss of the Park function; a wiring defect that may prevent cruise control from disengaging; missing tire and rim information on the certification label; and a driver’s knee air-bag inflator defect affecting certain vehicles manufactured from October 13 through October 17, 2016. The listed PTU recalls include campaigns 20V343000, 23V302000, and 25V011000, with the latest campaign calling for a drivetrain-control-module and PTU software update and PTU replacement where necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer before purchase or operation.
