2016 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT 4X2

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. Visible damage includes severe deformation of the left front fender around the headlamp and wheel arch, with the wheel-arch molding pulled away from the body. The left front bumper cover has a large open separation, and part of the black outer section is hanging outward. The hood has creasing and an irregular raised gap along its front-left edge. The left headlamp lens has a prominent radial crack pattern. A large spiderweb-like crack is also visible in the upper-left area of the windshield. Both front airbags appear to have deployed: the driver airbag is visible from the steering wheel, and the passenger airbag is deployed from the passenger-side dashboard. Airbag-system components, restraints, sensors, and related structural areas will require thorough inspection and likely replacement or repair. The condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, wheel, frame or unibody structure, and other mechanical components cannot be determined from the supplied findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport SUV/MPV with front-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by FCA Italy in Melfi, Italy. Two NHTSA recall records are associated with this model and year. One concerns certain aftermarket Daystar rear control-arm brackets used with a 1.5-inch spacer kit; the other concerns vehicles equipped with the factory optional trailer-hitch package and potentially insufficient hitch fasteners. The supplied information does not confirm that this vehicle has either affected aftermarket equipment or the trailer-hitch package, so applicability should be verified by VIN and physical inspection.
