2018 PORSCHE MACAN Macan GTS

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE (P)” condition designation. However, Stage 1 reports that the photographs do not show extensive or clearly documented damage, and that this condition claim cannot be verified from the photographs. The visible evidence is limited to an apparent localized displacement of the black plastic trim at the left front bumper corner, where the trim projects outward from the surrounding bumper opening. This is classified as minor collision damage. The same condition is visible in more than one image. NHTSA records identify five safety recall campaigns associated with the 2018 Porsche Macan: - **18V318000 (Porsche AJ05):** An electrical control unit may fail, potentially affecting safety-related functions, driver alerts, drivability, and post-crash functions. - **21V131000 (Porsche AMA2):** The front passenger-seat occupancy sensor mat may fail to detect a passenger, potentially affecting airbag deployment. - **18V844000 (Porsche AJ12):** The optional ski-bag fastening strap may have incorrectly sewn seams and could detach during a crash. - **20V077000 (Porsche ALA2):** The fuel-pump service cover may cause fuel-pump flange cracking and a possible fuel leak. - **23V443000 (Porsche APA9):** The lower rear outboard seat-belt anchor screws may not have been tightened correctly and could detach during a crash. The recall remedies were reported as free repairs or component replacements through Porsche dealers. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Porsche before purchase. A physical inspection is also recommended to verify the bumper trim mounting, check for any concealed damage, and assess the vehicle’s overall condition.
