2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

This 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is listed by the auction with Salvage condition and Front End as the primary damage classification. The visible evidence supports the Front End classification, showing extensive damage and missing components at the front of the vehicle. The Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The hood is severely creased and deformed across the front center and both front corners, with chipped and exposed material along the leading edge. The front bumper cover and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the cooling components, mounting cavities, and front structure exposed. The front reinforcement and mounting members are visibly bent and displaced, with irregular alignment across the front. The grille is detached and lying on the ground in multiple broken pieces. Large sections of the lower fascia, grille, and underbody trim are also detached, while additional plastic components remain hanging below the front structure. Both front fenders show moderate deformation around the wheel arches and adjacent panel gaps. The front-left fender has a distorted leading edge and irregular gaps around the wheel arch and hood, while the front-right fender and wheel-arch edge are similarly displaced. The windshield has severe impact damage on the left side, including dense radial cracking and multiple long cracks extending across the glass. The vehicle decodes as a gasoline-powered Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV with the GLE 350 trim, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder M264 engine, and a nine-speed transmission. The decoded vehicle was manufactured in Vance, Alabama, United States. The VIN data identifies standard safety equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The presence and condition of these systems cannot be confirmed from the provided findings. Official NHTSA recall records identify several recalls applicable to the 2022 GLE-Class or GLE 350. Recall 23V880000 concerns a fuel pump that may shut down and cause a loss of drive power. Recall 22V365000 concerns communication-module software that may disable the emergency-call system. Recall 24V724000 applies to certain 2021–2022 GLE 350 vehicles and concerns incorrectly routed front acceleration-sensor wiring that may affect airbag deployment. Recall 22V680000 concerns rear door window trim bars that may detach. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The vehicle requires extensive front-end repair, replacement of missing components, windshield replacement, and a detailed inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, restraint systems, sensors, and mechanical components before any repair or road-use decision is made.
