2021 LEXUS RX 350L Premium

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and a front-end primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover is severely damaged at the front-left corner and lower center section. It is cracked, torn, and detached from the vehicle, with displaced lower sections, exposed mounting areas, and a loose portion hanging below the bumper. The center grille is also severely broken, with multiple displaced sections, a large irregular opening, and components exposed behind it. The front-left headlamp assembly and surrounding trim are separated from the adjacent bodywork, exposing mounting areas and internal components. The front-left edge of the hood has a visible crease and raised, irregular section, while the leading edge of the front-left fender is deformed and separated irregularly from the damaged bumper and headlamp area. Multiple airbags have deployed. These include the driver steering-wheel airbag, additional airbag fabric in the driver lower-dash and front-seat-side areas, and side-curtain airbags along both roof sides and the left rear roof-side area. Airbag-system components and related restraint-system repairs should be inspected and addressed before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Lexus RX 350L Premium SUV, built in Japan by Toyota Motor Kyushu. It is equipped with a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine, engine code 2GR-FKS, and four-wheel drive. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, knee, and all-row curtain airbags, as well as electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure and lane-keeping systems, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: campaign 23V865000, concerning the front-passenger Occupant Classification System sensor. A short circuit may prevent the passenger airbag from deploying in a crash. The remedy is inspection and replacement of the sensor as necessary, free of charge through Lexus dealers. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Lexus before purchase or repair.
