2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 SEL

The auction record identifies this vehicle as a salvage-title vehicle with “Vandalism” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage includes a cracked windshield and missing or detached interior components, but does not establish that vandalism caused the damage; the vandalism classification cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The salvage-title status is administrative and cannot be verified from the photos. The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL, identified by VIN KM8KNDDF1RU247271. NHTSA data classifies it as an electric SUV/MPV with four-wheel drive, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. Listed standard equipment includes curtain, front, and side airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and related driver-assistance systems. The windshield has multiple fracture lines and areas of chipped or fragmented glass across the upper and central portions. Replacement of the windshield should be expected, with inspection and possible calibration of any systems mounted near or dependent on the windshield. Interior damage is also visible. Roof-liner and overhead-console components above the front seats are missing or detached, leaving wiring and mounting points exposed. Additional wiring and a component are hanging from the upper dashboard or windshield-header area. Two seat headrests and several interior trim or grille pieces have been removed and placed separately on a workshop floor. The condition and completeness of these detached parts, the exposed wiring, mounting points, overhead-console components, and related electrical systems should be checked during a physical inspection. The supplied recall records include NHTSA campaign 24V-868000, which supersedes 24V-204000. These recalls concern possible damage to the Integrated Charging Control Unit and its fuse, which may prevent charging of the 12-volt battery and cause a loss of drive power. The stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the ICCU and fuse as necessary, together with an ICCU software update. The records also list campaign 26V-432000 for certain 2023–2024 Ioniq 5 vehicles due to potentially misaligned high-voltage battery electrodes that could lead to a fire. The listed remedy is replacement of the high-voltage battery system assembly; the recall information states that owners should park outdoors, away from structures, and limit charging to 80% until the repair is completed. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase or operation.
