2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE Calligraphy

This 2021 Hyundai Palisade is listed with a salvage title and a “REAR END” primary-damage designation. The visible rear-end deformation and missing rear components support that damage classification; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The rear damage is severe. The lower liftgate panel or assembly is missing below the rear window, leaving the rear opening and internal mounting areas exposed. The rear bumper cover, both tail-lamp assemblies, and several exterior rear trim and fascia components are also absent. Exposed areas include mounting holes, brackets, wiring, and unfinished body surfaces. The rear liftgate opening, lower rear panel, and both rear corners show multiple creases, buckled sections, crushed metal, and irregular panel contours. A complete inspection should determine whether the rear body structure, mounting points, wiring, sensors, rear glass, interior components, and related safety systems require repair or replacement. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until all collision-related damage has been professionally assessed and repaired. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The provided NHTSA recall records list campaigns concerning possible brake-fluid contamination and reduced braking performance (21V840000), windshield-wiper failure (22V627000 and 23V180000), a potential tow-hitch harness electrical short and fire risk where equipped (22V633000), rear seat-belt buckle latching problems (25V607000), and possible improper deployment of third-row side-curtain airbags (26V034000). Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
