2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK 4X4

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification, citing extensive damage to the hood, bumper, grille, headlamps, left front fender, and windshield. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front windshield is severely shattered, with extensive spiderweb cracking across the upper and central glass and a large irregular opening near the centre. The hood is extensively creased and deformed along the front edge and right side, and its black covering is torn in several places. The front bumper cover is displaced and heavily deformed, with large openings and exposed components behind it. The grille and both front headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the radiator area and front-corner cavities exposed. The left front fender is also absent, exposing the wheel-area opening and inner components. Several exterior and underbody parts, including bumper- or grille-type panels and a long beam-like component, are detached and lying beside the vehicle. The available findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, electrical systems, airbags, or powertrain; these areas require a thorough physical inspection. The vehicle should be regarded as requiring substantial front-end repair, and its roadworthiness cannot be determined from these findings. Inside, the driver’s seat shows minor creasing, scuffing, and dark discoloration on the cushion and side bolster. NHTSA recall records include campaign 18V332000, concerning wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging, and campaign 16V686000, concerning loose rear tow-hook or tow-eye bracket bolts on certain 2017 Grand Cherokees manufactured between August 8 and August 16, 2016. Additional recalls apply only if the vehicle has the specified equipment: campaign 20V699000 concerns the EGR cooler on 3.0L EcoDiesel models; campaign 22V406000 concerns the high-pressure fuel pump on 3.0L diesel models; campaign 23V411000 concerns the crankshaft-position sensor tone wheel on 3.0L diesel models; and campaign 17E061000 concerns certain aftermarket ProCharger superchargers installed on Grand Cherokee SRT8 or SRT vehicles. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified using the vehicle identification number and service records.
