2017 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED 4X4

This 2017 Jeep Compass is listed with a salvage title, with the auction identifying “FRONT END” as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible photos do not support this claim: the front end appears intact, with no clearly visible front-end collision damage. The only documented visible damage is several light, whitish linear scuff marks on the lower left rear bumper corner. This is classified as minor cosmetic surface scuffing. No other damage findings were provided, and the available information does not establish the vehicle’s mechanical, structural, electrical, or water-damage condition. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, particularly because of the salvage title. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Jeep Compass Limited SUV/MPV, built by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico. It has a gasoline 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, 4WD/4x4 drivetrain, five-passenger seating, and standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and rear visibility equipment. The transmission type is not specified in the VIN data. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for this model year. Recall 17V740000 concerns instrument-cluster backlighting that may not dim correctly; the remedy was an instrument-cluster software update. Recall 17V301000 concerns possible improper seating of the left front halfshaft on vehicles equipped with a six-speed transmission; the transmission type for this vehicle is not identified in the provided decode. Recall 17V433000 concerns incorrect jump-start information in the owner’s guide. Recall 17V824000 concerns certain Kidde fire extinguishers supplied with affected vehicles or equipment. Completion of any applicable recall repairs should be verified with a Jeep dealer using the VIN.
