2017 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK 4X4

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with a primary damage classification of “SIDE.” Based on the Stage 1 photo review, the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because trim is missing at the left rear wheel arch. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. Visible exterior damage includes a missing center grille insert, leaving a rectangular opening in the front grille surround, with several vertical scratches around the area. The outer trim section along the left rear wheel opening is also missing; mounting holes and exposed edges are visible. Several light gray scuffs are present on the right side of the white hood. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, or safety systems, so a comprehensive inspection is recommended. The vehicle is listed with the following NHTSA safety recalls for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee: - Recall 20V343000 / FCA campaign W47: Certain vehicles equipped with a two-speed power transfer unit may experience input-spline wear, potentially causing loss of drive or loss of the Park function.
