2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The 2017 Jeep Cherokee is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this designation, while also noting significant additional damage along the right side and rear quarter. The front right fender is severely crushed and sharply creased around the wheel opening, with torn and displaced panel edges. The front right wheel and tire are missing, leaving the brake rotor, caliper, and suspension components exposed. The right front bumper corner is torn, displaced, and partially separated, with additional detached bumper-side trim hanging away from the vehicle. The rear right quarter panel has extensive crushing, deep creases, scraped paint, and displaced surfaces around the wheel arch. The outer rear right lamp assembly is missing, exposing wiring and mounting areas. The right rear bumper corner is also torn and displaced, with separated trim and exposed areas. Curtain airbags are visibly deployed along the right-side roof area, including the front passenger-side roof and A-pillar area and the rear passenger compartment. The instrument cluster shows illuminated check-engine, ABS, tire-pressure, stability-control, and parking-brake warning indicators. The findings do not establish the cause of these warnings or the operating condition of the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, suspension, braking, or drivetrain systems. The missing front wheel and exposed components require careful inspection before any attempt to move or operate the vehicle. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. They include recalls concerning the power transfer unit, which may cause loss of drive or loss of the Park function; cruise-control deactivation; missing tire-and-rim information on the certification label; and, for certain vehicles, the driver’s knee airbag inflator. The listed recall campaigns include 20V343000, 18V332000, 17V543000, 16V799000, 23V302000, and 25V011000. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer, particularly for the power-transfer-unit campaigns and any airbag-related repair.
