2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The auction record identifies it as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage at the left front fender and wheel-arch area supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The main reported damage is a moderate jagged opening at the lower edge of the left front fender behind the headlamp, with exposed light-colored material and a broken or missing section of the adjacent wheel-arch trim and panel edge. The left rear quarter panel also has several light scratches and scuff marks running from beside the tail lamp toward the wheel arch. Inside, the lower cushion of the driver’s seat shows brownish staining, and the steering-wheel rim has glossy areas consistent with surface wear. The supplied recall information lists several campaigns for this model and year. These include recalls concerning cruise-control disengagement caused by an electrical-wiring fault, the power-liftgate control module and potential water-related fire risk, seat-fastener torque, possible left- or right-halfshaft fracture on certain vehicles, and power-transfer-unit faults that may cause loss of drive or the Park function. An additional equipment recall concerns certain Kidde fire extinguishers. The later power-liftgate recall, campaign 23V338000, supersedes the earlier liftgate recall and may still require repair even if the earlier remedy was completed. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed through the vehicle identification number and an authorized Jeep/FCA dealer before purchase.
