2019 LEXUS ES 300h

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Title with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive damage and missing components across the hood, bumper, grille, and front corners. The front end has severe collision damage. The front bumper cover and grille-area trim are missing, exposing internal components, wiring, and the radiator area. The detached bumper cover is lying separately and has torn, jagged mounting areas with detached hardware. Components around the front-right corner are broken or absent, and a lower front panel is detached and hanging beneath the vehicle. The hood is severely deformed along its front edge and left-front area, with wide, uneven gaps around both headlamps and the front fascia. The front-right fender edge is also deformed, with chipped paint and exposed material. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel, and additional deployed airbag material is visible from the lower-left dashboard area. The images do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s structural members, cooling system, lighting, suspension, steering, hybrid system, or other mechanical components. A comprehensive physical inspection will be required, including checks for hidden front-end damage, wiring and sensor damage, airbag-system replacement, and safety-system calibration. Minor cosmetic damage is also noted on the lower right rocker panel and side skirt, consisting of scraping and light paint loss. The lower rear bumper edge and chrome trim have several light horizontal abrasions.

One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model: campaign 19V288000, concerning possible improper installation of the driver knee airbag assembly. The recall remedy involves dealer inspection and replacement if necessary. The completion status for this specific vehicle should be verified with Lexus or Toyota using the VIN.
