2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Cherokee with a salvage-title designation recorded by the auction (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”). The auction lists “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. However, the available assessment identifies severe damage concentrated at the front-left corner, including the fender, headlamp, bumper, and hood edge; it does not clearly support “SIDE” as the primary damage area. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front-left fender is heavily crushed and torn, with missing outer-panel material and exposed components in the wheel-arch area. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open damaged area behind it. The front-left bumper corner is broken and displaced, with missing sections and exposed material around the headlamp and fender. The front-left edge of the hood is raised and irregular, with a large uneven gap beside the damaged fender. The front-left wheel well is also missing its liner, leaving inner components exposed. This is substantial front-corner collision damage. Repairs may require replacement of the fender, headlamp assembly, bumper components, hood-related parts, and wheel-well liner, together with inspection of the exposed mounting points and components behind the damaged panels. The findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s structure, suspension, steering, cooling system, airbags, wiring, drivetrain, or mechanical systems; these should be inspected before purchase. Official recalls listed for this model and year include the following: - Recall 18V332000: a wiring defect may prevent cruise control from disengaging. The remedy involves inspection and a software update. - Recall 15V826000, superseded by 23V338000 (49A): on vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, water intrusion into the liftgate control module may cause an electrical short and fire risk. The later remedy includes relocating the module, adding a water shield, and inspecting or replacing affected components. - Recall 17V824000: certain Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers may clog or malfunction. - Recall 16V590000: seat fasteners may not have been tightened to specification. - Recalls 16V287000 and 16V284000: certain vehicles within specified 2015–2016 production ranges may have incorrectly manufactured left or right halfshafts that can fracture. - Recall 20V343000, expanded by 23V302000 (45A): certain Cherokees equipped with a two-speed power transfer unit may experience PTU damage, potentially causing loss of drive power or the Park function. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer, particularly for the power-liftgate and two-speed-PTU campaigns.
