2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive damage to the hood, grille, bumper, front trim, and windshield. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has extensive collision damage concentrated at the front. Multiple plastic trim and grille pieces are broken or missing, leaving openings and mounting structures exposed. The hood is raised and creased through the center, with an uneven, lifted front edge. The front bumper has severe scraping, cracking, separated sections, and displacement at both front corners; underlying components are visible, particularly at the right corner as viewed from the front. Damage is also present around the front-right headlamp, where outer trim and surrounding material are broken or missing. The windshield has extensive branching cracks and fractured areas, primarily on the driver’s side. Both the driver and front-passenger airbags are deployed. The vehicle should therefore undergo a complete inspection of the restraint system, sensors, steering wheel, dashboard, windshield, front lighting, cooling and charging-related components, wiring, and possible structural damage before repair or operation. The findings do not establish the condition of the high-voltage battery, electric drive system, suspension, or underbody. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited, classified as a five-door SUV/MPV and built in South Korea. It is a battery-electric vehicle with four-wheel drive, five seats, a single-speed transmission, and a 697-volt battery system. The decoded equipment includes front and passenger airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. The operation of these systems cannot be confirmed from the provided findings. NHTSA records list recall 22V324000 for a shifter-control-unit software error that may disengage the parking mechanism and allow the vehicle to roll away. Recalls 24V204000 and 24V868000 concern possible Integrated Charging Control Unit damage that can stop charging the 12-volt battery and result in loss of drive power; recall 24V868000 replaces and expands the earlier ICCU recall. Recall completion should be verified by an authorized Hyundai dealer before purchase or use.
