2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE Caligraphy

The auction record identifies this 2022 Hyundai Palisade as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage designation through extensive collision damage, while noting that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover and lower front fascia are missing, leaving internal components, wiring, and mounting hardware exposed. The grille area is open, with broken pieces and additional components visible. The hood is heavily crushed and buckled across both front corners, the center section, and the leading edge. The front fender and wheel-opening area also show creasing and displaced trim. Both front lighting assemblies are damaged: one has a broken lens with internal parts exposed, while the opposite assembly is missing. The radiator and condenser area is visibly deformed, with substantially crushed and uneven cooling fins. Several lower front-end components and wiring sections are detached or hanging below the vehicle. These findings indicate that the extent of damage may include concealed structural, cooling-system, electrical, and mounting-point issues that require a thorough physical inspection. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed. Side curtain airbags are also deployed along the roof and side-pillar areas, including the side roof area. Airbag modules, related sensors, wiring, restraints, and interior trim should be professionally inspected and replaced as required before the vehicle is considered safe to operate. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Hyundai Palisade SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea and is identified with the Caligraphy trim; the decode lists three seating rows and seven seats. NHTSA records list recalls for this model year involving the instrument-cluster display, certain tow-hitch harnesses, the windshield wiper motor or arm, rear seat-belt buckles, and third-row side-curtain-airbag deployment. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
