2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5

The auction record identifies the vehicle as “GRAVEMENT ACCIDENTE” (severely damaged) with a primary damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification: the rear bumper and lower liftgate are substantially damaged. Stage 1 also notes that the photographs do not directly confirm structural damage or the full extent implied by the auction title. The rear bumper cover is severely damaged across the left, center, right, and lower sections. It is detached, displaced, crushed, and broken, with missing sections, separated lower pieces, and exposed red and black components behind it. The lower rear liftgate panel has moderate damage, including a broad horizontal dent, multiple creases, and light-colored scrape marks. A possible ultrasonic parking sensor concern is also noted. The instrument display visibly shows a French warning indicating an ultrasonic sensor error or blockage. The available evidence does not establish whether this is an actual system failure or simply an obstruction, so the parking-sensor system should be tested after repairs. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SUV/MPV, VIN KM8KRDDF4RU331864. It is an electric, battery-electric vehicle with four-wheel drive, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The decoded trim is Limited, Disney 100 Platinum Edition. The vehicle is equipped with several driver-assistance and safety systems, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, rear visibility assistance, and ultrasonic parking assist; the operation of these systems should be verified following collision repairs. The supplied NHTSA recall records include recall 24V-868000, which expands and replaces recall 24V-204000. The recall concerns possible damage to the Integrated Charging Control Unit and fuse, which may prevent the 12-volt battery from charging and potentially result in loss of drive power. The remedy involves inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the ICCU and fuse, together with an ICCU software update. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN, including whether any earlier 24V-204000 repair requires the updated remedy. The records also list recall 26V-432000 for certain 2023–2024 Ioniq 5 vehicles. This recall concerns possible misaligned high-voltage battery electrodes that could lead to a fire while parked or driving. The listed interim guidance is to park outdoors away from structures and limit charging to a maximum of 80% until the repair is completed. The stated remedy is replacement of the high-voltage battery system assembly. Recall applicability and completion should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
