2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS 4X4

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having “LIEN PAPERS SALVAGE” status with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the front bumper cover, one headlamp, and one front fender are missing, and the hood is visibly deformed. The lien papers and salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and related fascia sections are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, brackets, wiring, and cooling components. The left headlamp assembly and outer left front fender are also missing, leaving the wheel-house area and inner mounting structures exposed. The lower front air-deflector/panel is absent. Detached bumper and fascia parts on the ground show cracked plastic, broken mounting edges, separated sections, and damaged grille and trim components. The exposed metal bumper reinforcement has horizontal abrasion marks. The left front edge of the hood has irregular deformation and an uneven gap above the exposed corner. A small light-colored scuff or paint-transfer mark is visible on the lower portion of the left front door. No other damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, and five seats. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Belvidere Assembly plant in the United States. The decode also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, direct tire-pressure monitoring, daytime running lights, and a rear visibility system. The transmission type was not provided. The supplied NHTSA data lists several safety recalls for this model and year. Relevant campaigns include instrument-cluster operation (18V917000), transmission concerns including a possible stall or loss of engine power (18V492000 and 18V739000; the latter applies to 2.4-liter vehicles), air-bag impact sensors (19V449000), steering-rack failure (19V637000), front under-hood wiring and possible stall/no-start conditions (18V524000), rear brake performance (18V523000), and passenger-seat mounting bolts (19V248000). A power-transfer-unit recall, 25V011000, is also listed, with software updates and inspection or replacement as necessary. Campaign 26V290000 is listed as having a remedy under development. The 2.0-liter engine recall 18V344000 does not correspond to the decoded 2.4-liter engine. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with FCA or NHTSA before purchase. The vehicle should be treated as a substantial front-end repair project. Before purchase or road use, a qualified technician should inspect the front structural areas, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, cooling system, exposed wiring, steering and suspension components, air-bag and sensor systems, drivetrain, and alignment. The salvage-title status and any lien documentation should also be independently verified.
