2016 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK 4X4

The 2016 Jeep Renegade is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Visible damage is extensively concentrated on the left side, supporting the SIDE primary-damage claim. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The left front door has multiple deep horizontal creases and broad dents across the lower and center sections, together with extensive paint scuffing and abrasion. The left rear door has broad deformation and several deep creases across its lower half, also with visible scuffing and abrasion. The rocker panel and side-skirt area below the doors are severely deformed and abraded. The black lower trim is displaced, and a section near the front door is missing, exposing red body metal and underlying components. The left rear quarter panel, ahead of the rear wheel, has several horizontal creases and dents. Curtain airbags are visibly deployed, with light-colored fabric hanging from both roof-side areas inside the vehicle. The extent of the side damage and airbag deployment indicates that substantial collision repairs will be required. The available findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, suspension, alignment, structural components, or other safety systems. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended, including checks beneath the damaged rocker area and verification of the airbag and restraint systems. Two official recall campaigns are listed for this 2016 Jeep Renegade. Campaign 16V545000 concerns vehicles equipped with the factory-installed trailer hitch package; the hitch may have been attached with insufficient fasteners and may require the installation of two additional fasteners per side. Campaign 16E013000 concerns certain aftermarket Daystar rear control-arm brackets supplied with a 1.5-inch spacer kit; improperly or incompletely welded brackets could allow rear-axle movement. Applicability should be confirmed by VIN and by checking whether the relevant trailer-hitch or aftermarket suspension equipment is fitted.
