2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric SUV, VIN KM8KR4DE8RU317408, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, South Korea. The decoded information identifies it as a battery-electric, 4x2 vehicle with the Limited, Disney 100 Platinum Edition trim. The auction lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. The visible missing and removed front-end components support the FRONT END classification. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover, grille, and multiple surrounding fascia components are missing, exposing the front reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, mounting areas, and lower front structure. One front headlamp assembly is also absent, leaving its mounting area and internal components exposed. Several removed bumper, grille, and fascia pieces are visible on the ground beside the vehicle. Exterior trim is missing from both front wheel arches, the visible rear wheel arch, and the lower door and rocker areas on both sides. These areas have exposed mounting holes, fastener locations, and underlying body edges. The interior trim panel on one front door is missing, exposing the inner door surface, speaker, wiring, and plastic moisture barrier. At the rear, the bumper cover and both outer rear lamp assemblies are missing. The rear reinforcement, lower mounting areas, wiring, and an orange high-voltage cable are exposed. The high-voltage system and all exposed wiring should be inspected and made safe by a qualified electric-vehicle technician before handling, transport, charging, or operation. The vehicle is equipped with standard safety and driver-assistance features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. These systems may require inspection, replacement, calibration, or diagnostic testing after repairs. NHTSA recall information lists recall 24V-868000 for a possible Integrated Charging Control Unit and fuse failure that may prevent charging of the 12-volt battery and result in loss of drive power. This recall expands and replaces 24V-204000; vehicles previously repaired under the earlier recall require the newer remedy. The stated remedy is inspection and, where necessary, replacement of the ICCU and fuse, together with an ICCU software update. The records also list recall 26V-432000 for certain 2023–2024 Ioniq 5 vehicles because misaligned high-voltage battery electrodes may lead to a fire while parked or driving. The stated remedy is replacement of the high-voltage battery system assembly. Until the repair is completed, the listed guidance is to park outdoors away from structures and limit charging to 80%. Recall completion and applicability should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA using the VIN. The extent of the visible component removal indicates that comprehensive body, lighting, wiring, cooling-system, restraint-system, high-voltage-system, sensor, structural, and diagnostic inspections will be required. The findings do not establish the condition of unseen mechanical, electrical, battery, structural, or drivetrain components, nor do they confirm whether the vehicle can be safely driven.
