2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE Caligraphy

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “BURN.” Stage 1 reports that this burn claim requires physical inspection and cannot be confirmed or ruled out from the available photos. The visible damage is extensive, particularly along the left side and rear of the vehicle. The left rear quarter panel, left rear door edge, roof edge, surrounding trim, and spoiler area show severe blackening, charring, melting, and discoloration. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are also substantially deformed, with torn edges and missing or displaced exterior material. The left front-door window, left rear-door window, and adjacent rear quarter window are missing or broken, and glass fragments are visible on the left rear seat and floor. Additional exterior damage includes an incomplete left side mirror, missing rocker and lower-door trim, an absent lower rear lamp or trim component, a heavily cracked windshield, and a severely deformed liftgate. The rear bumper is deformed and separated at the lower right corner, leaving an open gap and exposing dark components. The instrument cluster displays an airbag warning symbol, a brake warning indicator, and other yellow warning lights. These warning indicators, together with the visible body, glass, and possible heat-related damage, require comprehensive mechanical, electrical, structural, and restraint-system inspection before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. No operating condition or hidden damage can be established from these findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV, built in South Korea, with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle configuration indicates three seat rows and seven seats. Official NHTSA recall information provided for the 2022 Palisade includes recalls concerning the instrument-cluster display, certain tow-hitch harnesses, windshield-wiper operation, rear seat-belt buckles, and third-row side-curtain air-bag deployment. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA, particularly before repair or use.
