2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE Caligraphy

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified front-end damage claim, with extensive damage to the hood, grille, bumper, and front-left fascia. Stage 1 also notes that salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2022 Hyundai Palisade has moderate deformation along the left side and leading edge of the hood. The front grille is severely damaged, with multiple broken or displaced sections, openings, and detached trim. Large sections of the front bumper cover and lower fascia are missing or detached, exposing internal components and mounting areas; broken plastic is hanging below the front end. The front-left corner has additional severe damage, including fractured or missing fascia pieces, loose trim, and exposed components around the lamp and wheel-opening area. The windshield has extensive spiderweb-type cracking across the left and central areas, including a concentrated damaged section in front of the driver. The driver and passenger airbags are visibly deployed from the steering wheel, passenger-side dashboard, and lower driver-side dashboard. The extent of the visible damage indicates that structural, restraint-system, lighting, cooling, and other concealed components require thorough inspection; no mechanical or underbody condition can be confirmed from these findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2022 Hyundai Palisade SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-litre gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes front, side, curtain, and driver-knee airbags, as well as several driver-assistance and safety systems. NHTSA records list recalls concerning the instrument-cluster display, certain trailer-hitch harnesses, the driver-side windshield-wiper arm, specified seat-belt buckles, and third-row side-curtain airbag deployment. Recall remedy completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN, particularly before the vehicle is returned to service.
