2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee listed with a salvage title designation (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) and an auction primary-damage claim of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper fascia and grille are missing, one front headlamp assembly is absent, and front-end components are exposed. The front-end damage is substantial. The bumper fascia is missing, exposing the radiator and other components. The grille and one front headlamp assembly are also absent. A detached white front bumper cover is present on the ground and has cracks, broken edges, and separated sections around the grille and side areas. Front wheel-arch trim is missing, exposing mounting points and inner wheel-arch components. There is also a jagged crack and separated edge in the lower rear bumper cover near the left rear wheel opening. The interior shows additional cosmetic wear, including abrasion on the outer bolster of the front driver’s seat, peeling and surface wear on the steering-wheel rim, and peeling, scuffing, and worn finish on the center armrest. Official NHTSA recall records provided for the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee include several campaigns. Some apply only to specific engines, production dates, or equipment, so the vehicle’s VIN and service history should be checked to confirm applicability and completion: - Recall 20V475000 and expanded recall 23V411000 concern certain 3.0L diesel vehicles, where crankshaft-position sensor tone-wheel delamination may cause engine synchronization loss and stalling. The remedy involves a powertrain-control-module software update. - Recall 20V699000 concerns certain 3.0L EcoDiesel vehicles because the EGR cooler may crack, potentially allowing conditions that could cause combustion in the intake manifold. The remedy involves EGR-cooler replacement and inspection of the intake manifold. - Recall 22V406000 concerns certain 3.0L diesel vehicles because high-pressure fuel-pump failure may cause fuel starvation and loss of drive power. The remedy involves fuel-pump replacement and inspection of related fuel-system components. - Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that may prevent cruise control from disengaging. The specified remedy is a software update; cruise control should not be used until this repair is confirmed complete. - Recall 16V814000 applies to certain 3.6L vehicles built during a specified production period and concerns possible fuel-rail crossover-tube damage that could result in a fuel leak. - Recall 16V168000 concerns certain vehicles built during a specified period and involves possible cracking of the left-front brake caliper. - Recall 16V249000 concerns certain 2016 vehicles built during a specified period and involves the brake-transmission shift-interlock solenoid. - Recall 17E061000 applies to vehicles equipped with certain aftermarket ProCharger superchargers and concerns possible contact with the ABS line. The vehicle should receive a comprehensive inspection before purchase, including the radiator and exposed front-end components, headlamp and bumper mounting points, structural areas behind the damaged panels, cooling and electrical systems, airbags and restraint systems, wheel alignment and suspension, and any mechanical or warning-light issues. Recall completion should be verified with an authorized Jeep dealer using the VIN.
