2016 JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “front end.” The photo-based assessment supports limited, localized exterior damage at the front headlamp, fender, bumper, and grille area, but does not show extensive front-end damage. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. At the front corner, below and beside the headlamp, there is an irregular open gap with a broken-looking plastic edge and dark internal material exposed. The outer slot of the vehicle’s left-side grille also has an uneven opening, with an incomplete or displaced lower chrome surround compared with the adjacent slots. These areas should be inspected for damage to mounting points, underlying structural components, lighting equipment, and related systems. The instrument cluster shows the seat-belt, tire-pressure, and stability-control warning indicators illuminated. The available image does not establish their cause or confirm a mechanical or electrical failure. Diagnostic scanning and a complete mechanical inspection are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Jeep Compass Latitude SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a U.S. production origin at FCA’s Belvidere Assembly plant in Illinois. One NHTSA recall is listed for certain 2016 Jeep Compass vehicles manufactured from May 9, 2016, through July 15, 2016. The recall concerns an intermittently functioning crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector that may cause the engine to stall. The listed remedy is replacement of the connector at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
