2016 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT 4X2

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” shown as the primary damage classification. However, the Stage 1 photo review found only light scuffing on the rear bumper and no clear evidence of rear-end collision damage; therefore, the stated rear-end damage claim is not supported by the visible evidence. Several minor white abrasion and scuff marks are visible on the painted surface of the left rear bumper corner. The instrument cluster also displays the warning message “Daytime Running Light Out,” accompanied by a related warning indicator. The daytime running-light system should be diagnosed and repaired. Two safety recalls are listed for 2016 Jeep Renegade vehicles. Recall 16V545000 concerns vehicles equipped with the factory-installed optional trailer-hitch package, where the hitch may have been secured with too few fasteners. Recall 16E013000 concerns certain aftermarket Daystar rear control-arm brackets included in a specific 1.5-inch spacer kit; improperly welded brackets could allow rear-axle movement. Applicability should be verified by the vehicle identification number and equipment inspection, particularly if either the factory trailer-hitch package or the specified aftermarket suspension kit is present.
