2024 MAZDA CX-50 Preferred Package

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is listed with a CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE designation and the auction’s primary damage classification is SIDE. Stage 1 reports that visible evidence supports the SIDE damage classification through extensive damage to the left-side doors and lower side area. The salvage-title status could not be confirmed from the provided photos. The left front and left rear doors have severe deformation, including multiple deep dents, sharp creases, crushed areas, and surface scuffing. The lower door edges and adjacent lower side area are also visibly distorted. The black molding around the left rear wheel arch is missing, leaving mounting holes and fastener locations exposed. Side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed and hanging from the roof area beside both the front and rear passenger compartments. The instrument cluster displays the message “ABS Malfunction Have the Vehicle Inspected,” along with multiple illuminated warning indicators. The findings do not establish the cause or extent of any ABS, restraint-system, structural, or mechanical damage; these systems require a thorough physical inspection and diagnostic scan. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2024 Mazda CX-50 SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is equipped with front and rear side-curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, and other listed driver-assistance systems. One NHTSA recall is listed for this make, model, and year: recall 25V167000 concerns certain vehicles equipped with Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitches. The hitch bolts may loosen and allow the assembly to separate. Mazda’s stated remedy is to tighten the bolts free of charge. Applicability to this vehicle depends on whether it has the affected accessory hitch, so the recall should be verified by VIN and equipment inspection.
