2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee is listed by the auction with a salvage-title designation and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated “FRONT END” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has extensive collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner and front end. The front bumper cover is detached, with large gaps, broken sections, loose lower material, and exposed components. The bumper, fender, grille, grille surround, and headlamp areas no longer align properly, and several pieces of black trim are broken or displaced. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving its mounting points, internal components, and wiring visible. Parts of the front fascia and grille surround are also absent or broken away, exposing the radiator-area assembly and other front-end components. The left-front portion of the hood is severely deformed and crushed, with irregular edges, extensive paint abrasion, and exposed underlying material. The available findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, suspension, or drivetrain components. The recall records include multiple campaigns that may require verification by VIN and inspection of repair history. These include recalls concerning cruise-control disengagement caused by an electrical wiring short, power-liftgate module water intrusion and fire risk, improperly secured seat fasteners, potentially defective left or right halfshafts, and power-transfer-unit faults that may cause loss of drive or Park function. The later power-liftgate recall, campaign 23V338000, supersedes the earlier related campaign but states that vehicles repaired under the previous remedy still require the new remedy. Recall completion should be confirmed with an authorized Jeep dealer before purchase.
