2017 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Renegade listed with a salvage certificate and an auction-designated primary damage code of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because multiple front-end exterior components are missing and the front assembly is exposed. The salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, intercooler, brackets, and wiring exposed. The front-left outer panel and wheel-arch liner are also absent, exposing suspension components, wiring, brackets, and inner body surfaces. The front-right corner fascia and trim are missing as well. The hood has an uneven front edge and a raised, irregular contour at the left front corner. A lower front undertray is missing or displaced, with part of it hanging below the exposed components. Loose wiring and other front-end components are visible around the front-left wheel and bumper area. Minor scuffing is present on the lower left-side door and rocker-area trim. The extent of the visible front-end damage means that the condition of underlying structural components, cooling and air-conditioning systems, lighting, sensors, wiring, suspension, and other mechanical parts should be verified through a hands-on inspection. The vehicle should not be assumed to be roadworthy until damaged or missing components have been repaired or replaced and all systems have been tested. NHTSA recalls listed for certain 2017 Jeep Renegade vehicles include a fuel-pump recall affecting specified 4x2 flex-fuel/E85 vehicles with the 2.4L engine, which may cause loss of fuel pressure and stalling; an instrument-cluster software recall that may cause warning lamps to illuminate incorrectly; and an engine recall affecting specified vehicles with the 2.4L engine, involving a potentially cracked oil-pump housing/balance-shaft module that could lead to oil-pump failure and engine stalling. Applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
