2016 JEEP COMPASS SPORT FWD

The 2016 Jeep Compass is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage designation of “FRONT END.” These are auction records; the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage to the front headlamp area, front bumper fitment, and steering-wheel airbag supports the stated front-end damage code. The front headlamp on the image-left side has a broken lens and housing, with internal components exposed and lens material missing. There is also an open gap between the front bumper cover and the adjacent headlamp/fender area. The headlamp on the image-right side appears cloudy and yellowed, indicating oxidation. Inside the vehicle, the driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed, with the airbag fabric hanging from the wheel. An NHTSA safety recall, campaign 16V907000, applies to certain 2016 Jeep Compass vehicles manufactured from May 9, 2016, through July 15, 2016. The crankshaft or camshaft sensor may operate intermittently, potentially causing the engine to stall and increasing the risk of a crash. The stated remedy is replacement of the sensor connector by a dealer at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
