2016 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title and a primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through substantial front-end damage; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The most significant damage is concentrated at the right front corner. The right headlamp assembly is missing, exposing internal mounting areas and components. The right front fender is extensively deformed, with torn edges around the headlamp and wheel arch. The right front bumper corner is torn, displaced, and deformed, with broken edges and exposed components. The black wheel-arch flare is detached from the body, with visible gaps and exposed fasteners. Additional front-end damage includes deformation and abrasion across the upper edge of the front bumper, primarily on the right side. A rectangular opening in the lower front bumper is empty, indicating a missing grille insert. The available findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering components, wiring, or other components behind the damaged exterior. These areas should be physically inspected before purchase or repair. Minor cosmetic damage is also visible at the rear. Light scuffing appears on the left rear bumper corner and lower rear quarter area, as well as on the right rear lower bumper corner. The steering wheel rim shows glossy and worn areas along the grip surface. The instrument display reportedly shows “Left Turn Signal Light Out” and a lighting warning indicator, so the exterior lighting system requires testing and repair. The check-engine indicator and other warning indicators are also illuminated with the ignition on. The photos do not establish the underlying causes of these warnings, and diagnostic scanning and a complete mechanical inspection are recommended. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Jeep Renegade SUV/MPV with all-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Italy S.p.A. in Italy. Two NHTSA recall records are listed for this model and year. One concerns certain aftermarket Daystar rear control-arm brackets supplied with a 1.5-inch spacer kit; improperly welded brackets may allow rear-axle movement. The other concerns vehicles equipped with the factory-installed trailer-hitch package, where insufficient fasteners could allow the hitch assembly to separate. The applicability of either recall to this specific vehicle and its equipment should be confirmed by VIN and inspection.
