2019 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

The auction record identifies this 2019 Toyota 4Runner as having a salvage certificate of title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive hood, front fascia, headlamp, fender, and bumper damage supports the stated FRONT END claim. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage across the front end. The hood is extensively buckled, creased, and raised above the fenders. The front-left headlamp is broken and displaced, with missing housing material and exposed areas behind the lamp. The front-left fender and adjacent front-end panels are crushed and deformed. The grille and fascia have large gaps, broken edges, and missing sections. The front bumper has displaced, cracked, and scuffed areas, including damage to the corners and lower section. Separation and open gaps are visible at the bumper-to-fender junction, including on the front-right side. Multiple restraint-system components are visibly deployed. These include the driver airbag in the steering wheel, the lower driver-side dashboard airbag, the driver-seat side airbag, and curtain airbags along the driver-side roofline, side windows, and rear side roofline. Comprehensive inspection and replacement of the affected airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, sensors, control modules, wiring, and related interior components will be required before the vehicle can be considered safe for use. Hidden damage to the structural, cooling, steering, suspension, electrical, and drivetrain systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2019 Toyota 4Runner SUV with 4WD, a 4.0-liter gasoline V6 engine, and a five-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation at the Tahara Plant in Japan. The decode also lists right-hand drive and standard front, knee, side, and all-row curtain airbag locations. NHTSA records list four recalls associated with applicable 2019 4Runner vehicles: a low-pressure fuel-pump recall due to possible pump failure and engine stalling; a Southeast Toyota recall concerning potentially incorrect GVWR labels on vehicles modified with a TRD wheel package; a Southeast Toyota recall involving improperly tightened steering and suspension components; and a Gulf States Toyota recall concerning load-capacity labels that may become illegible. The vehicle-specific completion status of these recalls is not provided and should be verified with Toyota or an authorized dealer.
