2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee with a salvage title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment found only minor surface scuffing on the front bumper and no clear significant front-end collision damage; therefore, the stated front-end damage claim is not substantiated beyond these minor cosmetic marks. Several small dark marks and light linear scuffs are visible on the painted front bumper cover below the grille and around the license-plate mounting area. No other damage findings were provided. The vehicle is associated with several NHTSA safety recalls, including recalls concerning the power transfer unit (PTU), cruise-control deactivation, tire and rim information on the certification label, and the driver’s knee air-bag module. The PTU-related recalls include campaigns 20V343000, 23V302000, and 25V011000; the latest listed remedy involves updating the drivetrain control module and PTU software and replacing the PTU if necessary. Recall campaign 18V332000 concerns a software update related to cruise-control operation, while campaigns 17V543000 and 16V799000 concern the certification label and driver’s knee air-bag module, respectively. The available information does not confirm whether any of these recall remedies have been completed on this vehicle.
