2022 HYUNDAI KONA N

The 2022 Hyundai Kona N is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Visible front-bumper damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front bumper corner has a torn, irregular section with exposed dark inner material. A narrow lower bumper piece is hanging below the bumper. Another area of the painted bumper material is missing, with jagged edges, exposed black material, and abrasion on the adjacent surface. The observed bumper damage is moderate and appears concentrated at the front corner. Further inspection is recommended to check the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, lighting, sensors, and other components behind the damaged cover. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle model and year. Recall 22V746000 concerns the automatic transmission oil-pump fail-safe function, which may result in a complete loss of drive power; the remedy includes transmission inspection or replacement as necessary and a transmission-control-unit software update. Recall 24V528000 concerns a potentially failing fuel-pump control/drive module, which may also cause loss of drive power; the remedy includes an engine-control-module software update and fuel-pump inspection or replacement as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or operation.
