2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 Limited

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the photographs support visible side damage to the left front door and adjacent side area. The photographs also show front bumper damage, so the “SIDE” classification does not describe all visible damage. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left front door has severe collision damage. Its outer panel is extensively crushed, with sharp creasing and inward deformation across the middle and lower sections. The door edge, hinge-side area, front door opening, and adjacent lower side sill are exposed and visibly irregular. The lower edge of the door is distorted, and the left front door window is broken, showing a fragmented and jagged glass pattern. The front bumper also has moderate damage. Multiple sections of the lower fascia and trim are missing, leaving open gaps and exposed mounting areas. Additional incomplete areas are visible in the lower front bumper openings, with components and wiring exposed at the lower left side. This is a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited, a four-door electric sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The VIN decode identifies it as a battery-electric vehicle with standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain and front side airbags, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and rear cross-traffic alert. The decode does not provide drivetrain, motor, or transmission details. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2024 Ioniq 6 model year. These include recalls involving the Integrated Charging Control Unit and possible loss of drive power, differential gear-drive-unit bolts that may cause loss of drive power or differential lock-up, a charging-port door panel that may detach, and front seat-belt anchors that may detach. The ICCU recall replaces an earlier recall and may require inspection or replacement of the ICCU and fuse, together with a software update. Recall repairs are stated to be free of charge, but completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai before purchase. The visible damage requires a full structural and mechanical inspection, including the door structure and hinges, side sill and adjacent body structure, glass and window components, bumper mounting points, exposed wiring, restraint-system components, sensors, and the vehicle’s high-voltage and 12-volt electrical systems. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy based on the exterior findings alone.
