2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The auction record lists the primary damage as “REAR END” and the condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible rear liftgate and bumper damage supports the auction’s unverified “REAR END” damage code. However, the “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition could not be confirmed from exterior photographs. The lower rear liftgate is severely crushed and creased from the left rear corner toward the center handle and license-plate recess. The left rear bumper cover is severely torn, displaced, and irregularly deformed, with an open damaged section and exposed areas. The left rear bumper assembly and chrome trim are also moderately deformed and pushed out of shape. The rear-end impact may require replacement or repair of the liftgate, bumper cover, bumper components, and trim; further inspection is needed to assess hidden structural, sensor, lighting, or mechanical damage. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. Applicability depends on the vehicle’s engine, equipment, production date, and prior repair history. These include recalls involving the cruise-control wiring system, the brake-transmission shift interlock, and, for specified production ranges and engines, the fuel rail crossover tube and left-front brake caliper. Additional recalls apply to vehicles equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine, including issues involving the crankshaft-position sensor tone wheel, EGR cooler, and high-pressure fuel pump. A separately listed recall concerns certain aftermarket superchargers installed on Grand Cherokee SRT/SRT8 models. The VIN should be checked with an authorized dealer to confirm applicability and whether all recall repairs have been completed.
