2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE Calligraphy

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “ALL OVER” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports severe collision damage consistent with salvage status, but does not establish rollover or uniformly all-over damage. The clearly visible damage is concentrated at the front and left side, with additional rear-glass damage. The front end is severely damaged. The hood is extensively crumpled and folded, while the front bumper cover, grille, and both front lamp assemblies are missing. The exposed radiator and condenser assembly is bent and distorted, and visible front support members and brackets are displaced, bent, or separated from their normal positions. Wiring and other components are exposed in the lower-right front area, with loose wiring and detached parts hanging below the front assembly. The front-left corner and fender area also have extensive missing and displaced bodywork, torn panel edges, and exposed internal components around the wheel opening. Both visible left-side doors have large, deep dents and pronounced creases. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving its mounting and internal components exposed. The rear liftgate window is absent, with jagged remaining glass around the opening. Inside the vehicle, the roof liner and upper trim are displaced and hanging along both sides and toward the rear. The driver airbag, additional driver-side airbags, front passenger seat side airbag, and curtain airbags along both roof sides are deployed. This indicates substantial impact-related restraint-system damage, and the complete airbag system, seat belts, sensors, wiring, and related control modules will require inspection and likely repair or replacement. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and seating for seven. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The decoded equipment includes front, side, knee, and curtain airbags, with curtain-airbag coverage for the first, second, and third rows. NHTSA records list recalls for this model year involving possible brake-fluid contamination and reduced braking performance (21V840000); windshield-wiper operation or failure (22V627000 and its expansion, 23V180000); a potential tow-hitch harness electrical short and fire risk on vehicles equipped with the relevant harness (22V633000); rear seat-belt buckle latching problems (25V607000); and possible improper deployment of third-row side-curtain airbags (26V034000). Recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA. Given the visible collision damage and deployed airbags, the vehicle requires comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling-system, lighting, restraint-system, and roadworthiness inspection before repair or use.
