2025 HYUNDAI PALISADE

This 2025 Hyundai Palisade is listed at auction with a SALVAGE TITLE CERTIFICATE and “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification, citing extensive rear liftgate deformation, missing rear bumper components, missing rear lamps, and exposed rear body structure. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. The rear bumper cover and both rear lamp assemblies are missing, leaving mounting areas, wiring, and internal rear components exposed. The lower liftgate is broadly crushed, folded, and sharply deformed across its width. The rear-left corner and lower rear body panels are irregularly deformed, and additional detached bumper, trim, lamp, wiring, and other rear body components are visible beside the vehicle. A complete inspection is required to determine the condition of structural members, sensors, wiring, the liftgate mechanism, and any components not visible in the provided findings. Driver-assistance warnings are reported on the instrument cluster, including “Check Lane Change Assist function” and “Check Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system.” These systems should be diagnosed and recalibrated as necessary after repairs, with particular attention to possible damage to rear-mounted sensors and related wiring. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Palisade SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and production in Ulsan, South Korea. The decoded equipment includes standard adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility, parking assistance, rear automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year. Recall 25V291000 concerns the electric oil-pump controller, which may short and cause a fire; Hyundai advises parking affected vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the remedy is completed, with controller replacement available free of charge. Recall 25V607000 concerns rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; the remedy is replacement of the affected buckle assemblies. Recall 26V034000 concerns possible improper deployment of the third-row side-curtain airbags; the remedy involves installing protective film over the rear window and removing padding as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before the vehicle is operated or purchased.
