2017 PORSCHE MACAN

The vehicle is a 2017 Porsche Macan. The auction record identifies it as having a salvage title and lists “rear end” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe deformation of the rear liftgate and central rear body area supports the stated rear-end damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The rear liftgate outer panel and surrounding central rear body panel are deeply crushed and buckled inward. Multiple sharp folds and distorted contours are visible around the Porsche badge and license-plate recess. The extent of the deformation indicates that repairs may involve more than the liftgate panel alone, but the supplied findings do not confirm damage to any additional components or structural areas. A power-steering warning is also visible on the instrument display. It states that the power steering has failed, that greater steering effort is required, and that driving is permitted. This should be treated as a significant mechanical concern requiring diagnostic testing and inspection of the power-steering system before the vehicle is driven. The supplied recall records identify the following NHTSA campaigns applicable to certain 2017 Porsche Macan variants and equipment configurations: - **21V131000 (AMA2):** The front passenger-seat occupancy sensor mat may degrade and fail to detect a passenger, potentially preventing air-bag deployment. The remedy is replacement of the sensor mat and seat cushion. - **18V844000 (AJ12):** On vehicles equipped with the optional ski bag, the fastening strap may have incorrectly sewn seams and may detach during a crash. The remedy is replacement of the ski bag. - **20V077000 (ALA2):** The fuel-pump service cover may contact the filter-flange flow nozzle, potentially causing cracks and fuel leakage. The remedy includes inspection, protective-film application, and replacement where required. - **16V680000 (AG06):** Front anti-roll-bar connecting links may move out of position and contribute to oversteer. The remedy is inspection and replacement where necessary. - **17V289000 (AH06):** The fuel-pump flange may crack and leak fuel. The remedy is inspection, protective-film application, and replacement of cracked flanges. - **23V443000 (APA9):** The lower rear outboard seat-belt anchor screws may not be properly tightened and may detach in a crash. The remedy is replacement and tightening of the anchor screws. Recall completion status for this specific vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Porsche using the VIN.
