2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED FWD

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Visible severe deformation of the rear liftgate supports the reported REAR END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear liftgate is severely crushed, with multiple pronounced horizontal and vertical creases, deep inward buckling, and a significantly indented center and lower section. The license-plate recess, lower liftgate edge, and contours extending toward the left side of the liftgate opening are distorted. The extent of the damage indicates that the liftgate and potentially related rear-end components will require detailed inspection and likely replacement or structural repair. The available findings do not establish the condition of the rear body structure, hinges, latch, wiring, glass, interior components, or mechanical systems. Several safety recalls are listed for this 2017 Jeep Cherokee. These include recalls concerning the power transfer unit, which may cause loss of drive power or loss of the Park function; a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; missing tire and rim information on the certification label; and a driver’s knee air-bag inflator issue affecting certain vehicles manufactured in October 2016. An additional 2025 recall concerns possible power transfer unit damage and may require a software update and, where necessary, PTU replacement. Recall completion should be verified by the vehicle identification number with an authorized Jeep dealer before purchase or operation.
