2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 SE

This 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary damage classification. The auction classifications are unverified claims. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because the front bumper and headlamp assemblies are missing and the hood is visibly deformed. Stage 1 also states that the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover and central front fascia are absent, leaving the cooling modules and other internal front-end components exposed. Both left- and right-side headlamp assemblies are missing, with their mounting cavities and internal components visible. The hood has a pronounced dent and multiple creases around the center emblem area and front edge. Multiple removed front exterior parts, including bumper and trim components, are shown separated from the vehicle and placed on the ground. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE, an electric SUV/MPV manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. It is identified as a 4x2 vehicle with a single-speed transmission and a battery-electric powertrain. The listed safety equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and front and rear automatic emergency braking. NHTSA records list recalls for the parking-brake control-module software and the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The ICCU recall, campaign 24V868000, expands and replaces campaign 24V204000 and may require inspection or replacement of the ICCU and fuse, together with a software update. Recall completion should be verified by the manufacturer or an authorized Hyundai dealer before purchase or operation. Given the front-end damage, the exposed cooling and electrical components, missing lighting, and the vehicle’s high-voltage electric powertrain, a comprehensive structural, electrical, cooling-system, airbag, and battery-system inspection is recommended before repair or road use.
