2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4

The auction record lists this 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE,” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage code: the front bumper assembly is extensively cracked, torn, deformed, and displaced, with exposed components. One front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open mounting area. The adjacent front fender and wheel-opening area are severely crushed and irregular, while the front edge of the hood is raised and uneven with an irregular gap to the surrounding panels. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. A minor interior issue is also noted: the front edge of the center armrest upholstery has a visible split or tear. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, five-seat Grand Cherokee Laredo SUV manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in the United States. It is equipped with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The VIN is 1C4RJFAG1JC448654. No mechanical or structural condition beyond the listed visible findings can be determined from this report. The missing headlamp, damaged bumper components, front fender, hood alignment, exposed components, and any related mounting, cooling, lighting, wiring, suspension, steering, restraint, or driver-assistance systems should be physically inspected before purchase and repair estimates are finalized. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with 2018 Grand Cherokee vehicles. Recall 18V280 concerns the automatic-transmission park-lock rod; recall 18V332 concerns cruise-control disengagement caused by an electrical wiring fault; recall 18V524 concerns a powertrain-control-module voltage-regulator failure that may cause a stall or no-start condition; and recall 24V838 concerns the ABS module, including possible loss of ABS/ESC function and the ability to shift out of Park without applying the brake. Recall 24V838 replaces recall 22V426, and vehicles previously repaired under 22V426 require the updated remedy. Other listed recalls concern specific diesel, Trackhawk, SRT, or accessory configurations and may not apply to this gasoline Laredo. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer before operation.
