2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title with front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has severe damage concentrated at the image-left front corner. The front fender is crushed and torn around the wheel opening, with exposed inner areas and missing sections. The adjacent hood corner and leading edge are substantially creased and deformed, with scraped paint and an uneven edge. The image-left front bumper cover has large tears, cracked and separated sections, open gaps, scraped surfaces, and missing material. The black front fascia and grille-area trim are also broken and separated, with irregular gaps and exposed material. The vehicle decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE, classified as a five-door SUV/MPV and a battery-electric vehicle. It is listed with 4x2 drive and was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, South Korea. The decoded vehicle is associated with three NHTSA recalls. Recall 22V324000 concerns a Shifter Control Unit software error that may disengage the parking mechanism and allow vehicle rollaway; the remedy is a free software update, with use of the electronic parking brake recommended until completion. 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 24V204000, and previously repaired vehicles may require the newer remedy. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai using the VIN. The vehicle requires comprehensive repair and inspection before operation. In addition to repairing the visible body, hood, bumper, and fascia damage, the front structure, mounting points, lighting, safety systems, cooling components, electrical systems, and high-voltage components should be assessed for damage.
