2018 MAZDA CX-5 Touring

The vehicle is a 2018 Mazda CX-5 with a salvage certificate of title. The auction listed the primary damage as TOP/ROOF. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the roof appears intact in the available exterior views, while extensive windshield damage and lower front bumper scuffing are visible. The front windshield is severely damaged, with extensive spiderweb cracking across the left and central areas, a concentrated impact point, and multiple radiating cracks. Replacement of the windshield will be required. The lower front bumper fascia has minor cosmetic damage, including several light-colored abrasion marks and scraped paint along the center and left lower corner. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a left-hand-drive, Japan-built CX-5 Touring with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with cylinder deactivation, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Listed standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and curtain, front, and side airbags. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2018 Mazda CX-5: campaign 18V426000 concerning side-curtain airbag deployment, campaign 19V497000 concerning a powertrain-control-module software error that may cause engine stalling, and campaign 21V875000 concerning a low-pressure fuel-pump impeller that may deform and cause pump failure or engine stalling. The stated remedies were replacement of the curtain airbags, PCM software reprogramming, and fuel-pump replacement, respectively. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mazda or an authorized dealer.
