2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

This 2016 Jeep Cherokee is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with “REAR END” recorded as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible evidence supports that classification: damage is present at the left rear quarter panel and left rear bumper corner. The main damage is moderate deformation and multiple light-colored scrape marks on the left rear quarter panel near the wheel arch, extending toward the tailgate. The adjacent left rear bumper corner has broad scuffing and surface scraping. The left side of the tailgate also has minor surface scratches and abrasion marks below and beside the left taillight. Inside the vehicle, several minor light-colored scratches are visible on the folded rear center armrest. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel alignment, lighting, liftgate operation, or mechanical and electrical systems. A physical inspection should verify these areas, along with the quality and completeness of any repairs. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to 2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles, with applicability in some cases depending on production date, equipment, or drivetrain. These include recalls involving cruise-control disengagement caused by an electrical wiring fault; the power liftgate module, which may short and create a fire risk; first- or second-row seat fasteners; potentially defective left or right halfshafts on specified production ranges; and power-transfer-unit problems that may cause loss of drive power or the Park function. The power-liftgate recall was later superseded by recall 23V338000, which calls for relocating the module, adding a water shield, inspecting for corrosion, and replacing affected components where necessary. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before use.
