2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE FWD

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Cherokee with a salvage title, and the auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible front-end collision damage supports that auction damage code; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover is extensively damaged across the center and both corners, with large cracks, torn and displaced sections, deformation, uneven gaps, and exposed internal components. The front fascia is separated around the grille and headlamp area, and the lower fascia is absent or displaced, exposing the radiator/condenser area and other front-end components. Broken plastic pieces are visible at both lower corners. Both outer sections of the front grille are missing. The front right headlamp is not visibly present as a complete assembly, leaving an exposed lamp cavity and mounting areas. The hood has an irregular gap at its front edge, and the near-side front fender and bumper junction show uneven panel gaps, displaced bumper material, and exposed areas around the headlamp and wheel arch. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial front-end repair and replacement work will be required. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting system, wiring, restraint systems, mechanical components, and alignment cannot be determined from these findings alone and should be assessed through a full physical inspection before purchase. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a U.S.-built Jeep Cherokee SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, left-hand drive, and Latitude/Longitude/North trim designation. NHTSA records list several recalls for this model year. These include recalls concerning cruise-control deactivation caused by an electrical wiring short, power-liftgate module water intrusion and fire risk on vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, potentially loose seat fasteners, certain front halfshafts that may fracture, and power-transfer-unit failures that may result in loss of drive or loss of the Park function. The listed power-liftgate recall supersedes an earlier recall, and the later PTU recall expands an earlier campaign. Recall applicability may depend on the vehicle’s production date and equipment, and completion status should be verified by VIN with Jeep or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
