2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 4X4

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE**, with **REAR END** identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible crushed liftgate, displaced rear bumper, and damaged rear corners support the stated rear-end damage code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The rear liftgate is severely crushed and folded across most of its lower width, with the cargo opening exposed and a large gap above the bumper. The lower liftgate panel, trim, latch area, and adjacent opening edges are distorted and displaced. The rear bumper cover is severely damaged, torn, and separated from the body on both sides, with the right rear corner deformed, exposed mounting areas, and exposed components around the lower rear fascia. Both rear quarter areas show significant damage. The left rear quarter panel is heavily crushed and folded around the rear lamp and bumper interface, while the right rear quarter and liftgate-side body panel have moderate deformation and uneven contours. A large creased dent extends from the left rear door into the adjacent quarter-panel and rear wheel-arch area. The supplied findings concern visible exterior damage; the condition of the underlying structure, lighting, sensors, exhaust, suspension, wiring, latch mechanism, and other mechanical or safety systems is not established and requires a physical inspection. NHTSA recall information identifies several campaigns associated with 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles, subject to the vehicle’s equipment, engine, production date, and prior repair history. Recall 18V332000 concerns a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging. Recall 16V686000 applies to certain vehicles manufactured from August 8 through August 16, 2016 and concerns loose rear tow-hook or tow-eye bracket bolts. For vehicles equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine, recalls 20V699000, 22V406000, and 23V411000 concern the EGR cooler, high-pressure fuel pump, and crankshaft-position-sensor tone wheel, respectively. Recall 17E061000 concerns certain aftermarket ProCharger superchargers installed on Grand Cherokee SRT8/SRT vehicles. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer, particularly because the available damage findings do not establish the vehicle’s engine, equipment, production date, or repair status.
