2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE Caligraphy

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate and a primary damage code of front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification, with extensive damage concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The salvage-certificate status cannot be verified from photographs alone. The 2022 Hyundai Palisade has severe collision damage across the front end. The hood is extensively crushed, with sharp folds, deep creases, and collapsed sections. The front bumper cover, grille, headlamp assemblies, and surrounding trim are missing or destroyed, leaving wiring, cooling, and support components exposed. The upper and lower front support members are bent and displaced. The radiator and condenser assembly also appear displaced, with bent fins, exposed edges, and detached or loose surrounding components. The front-left corner is heavily crushed and torn. The front fender, wheel-opening panels, and adjacent bodywork are deformed or partially missing, exposing wiring and other components. The front wheel is visibly angled outward relative to the body, while the wheel-well structure and suspension area appear displaced. The front-left door is missing, and the A-pillar, door jamb, and lower rocker area show pronounced buckling, tearing, and displaced metal around the opening. These areas require a detailed structural and suspension inspection. The windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking across a large portion of the glass. Inside the cabin, the driver, front passenger, and side-curtain airbags are deployed. Dashboard and instrument-panel trim is missing or broken, with wiring harnesses and electrical components exposed below the steering column. Interior panels and components are displaced across the rear seating and cargo areas, with exposed insulation, loose trim, and deployed airbag material visible. Additional damage includes a detached underbody or splash-shield panel below the rear bumper area and light scuffing on the lower center of the rear bumper. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling-system operation, electrical systems, restraint-system components, alignment, or drivability. Given the extent of the impact and airbag deployment, comprehensive mechanical, electrical, suspension, cooling-system, and structural inspection will be required before repair or road use. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Palisade SUV with front-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea and is configured with three seating rows and seven seats. NHTSA records list recalls for certain 2022 Palisade vehicles involving the instrument-cluster display, trailer-hitch harness, and windshield-wiper motor. Additional records cover certain 2020–2025 Palisade vehicles for rear seat-belt buckles and third-row side-curtain airbag deployment. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed for this VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
