2024 TOYOTA RAV4 XLE Premium

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because of the extensive missing and damaged front-end components. However, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2024 Toyota RAV4 has substantial collision damage concentrated at the front. The front bumper cover, grille assembly, and several center and lower fascia components are missing or broken away, exposing the radiator area, reinforcement beam, horns, brackets, wiring, and other inner components. Both front headlamp areas are affected: the near-side headlamp is displaced and visibly damaged, while the opposite-side headlamp assembly is absent or substantially missing. The near-side front fender has a substantial missing section around the wheel arch, with the wheel-well liner and inner body components exposed. The remaining panel edge is irregular, and the fender above and forward of the wheel has an additional visible crease and deformation. The front edge of the hood also has an uneven contour and an irregular gap near the damaged corner. Wiring and connectors are exposed and hanging in the near-side front corner. The instrument cluster displays “Pre-Collision System Malfunction,” and the check-engine indicator is illuminated. These warnings require diagnostic testing after the damaged components and wiring have been repaired. The available findings do not establish the condition of the radiator, cooling system, engine, transmission, steering, suspension, brakes, airbags, or underlying structural components. A comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and structural inspection is recommended before purchase or repair approval. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2024 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium Sport Utility Vehicle with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an engine rated at 203 horsepower. It was manufactured by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada at the Woodstock Plant in Canada. NHTSA records list three recalls for this make, model, and year. Recall 24V911000 concerns potentially loose front brake-caliper and wheel-hub-bearing bolts, which could damage a brake hose, cause a brake-fluid leak, or result in wheel detachment. Recall 25V595000 concerns instrument-panel software that may fail to display vehicle speed, brake-system, or tire-pressure warnings at startup. Recall 25V744000 applies to vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor and concerns a rearview camera that may freeze or display a blank screen while reversing. Recall completion and applicability should be verified with Toyota using the VIN before the vehicle is placed into service.
